Hi Joel,
I don't know whether this relates to what you're saying, but a few days
ago debian.org was down, and xubuntu.org was *incredibly* slow, both on
my side and at http://www.isup.me, which told me both were flat out
down. I just went to sleep, and upon waking the next day, both were
doing well.
Also, a couple days ago, using the Debian Wheezy 64bit network install,
the debian.org default mirror didn't work, so I switched to the rit.edu
mirror and it worked perfectly.
I don't know if any conclusions can be drawn from my anecdotes, but if
you collect enough anecdotes perhaps it can help you figure out what's
going wrong.
