ISTR that this is the second complaint about this mirror not working correctly we've seen in the past week or three; whether they are from different people, or both from the same, I don't know. (Note that the person making the complaint did not choose to use debian.map.fastlydns.net; that person chose to use the mirror auto-selector, deb.debian.org, which in this instance chose the fastlydns option.) The only options I see offhand (though I'm sure I'm missing some) are A: that the debian.map.fastlydns.net mirror is in fact not functioning correctly for anyone at present, or B: that for some reason the complainer's Internet access is being blocked/filtered in a way which prevents access to that mirror without preventing access to e.g. this mailing list. In case A, either the people who run that mirror need to fix whatever's wrong with it, or it needs to be removed from the auto-selector's list. In case B, either the blocking is a mistake (in which case someone - possibly the mirror maintainers, possibly the complainer - needs to reach out to whoever's doing the blocking and get them to correct that mistake), or it's intentional (in which case the complainer is off-base, and needs to either switch to a different Internet access - which might be impossible, depending on the circumstances - or stop using the auto-selector and choose a mirror that isn't being blocked). -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -- George Bernard Shaw
