      ^^^^^^^
The method is singular and mirros.debian.org does not exist.  Anyway, my
sid freezes when trying to use it (top shows 3.1g VIRT and 1.6g RES
memory) and then apt dies:
=====
root@gismo:~# echo "deb mirrors://mirrors.debian.org/mirror sid main" >/etc/apt/sources.list
root@gismo:~# apt-get update
E: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/mirrors could not be found.

root@gismo:~# echo "deb mirror://mirrors.debian.org/mirror sid main" >/etc/apt/sources.list
root@gismo:~# apt-get update
0% [Working]terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what():  std::bad_alloc
E: Method mirror has died unexpectedly!
E: Sub-process mirror received signal 6.

This is on an updated sid with 2GB RAM plus 2GB swap, on an Intel X25-M
80GB SSD partitioned as cryptsetup/LVM/ext4.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

So, four years later that probably happened… hence closing.
