Hey, On two of my servers running with different ISP's I've noticed connection issues in the last few days to ftp.nz.debian.org. I can ping it, but can't connect via HTTP or FTP. This is both on my flat server (Snap) and my parents server (Slingshot). When I try from work, which is connected to the WIX, it works fine. hugh(a)hugh-laptop:~$ ping -c 1 ftp.nz.debian.org PING ftp.citylink.co.nz (202.7.6.9) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from ftp.citylink.co.nz (202.7.6.9): icmp_req=1 ttl=60 time=13.7 ms --- ftp.citylink.co.nz ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 13.792/13.792/13.792/0.000 ms hugh(a)hugh-laptop:~$ telnet ftp.nz.debian.org 80 Trying 202.7.6.9... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out hugh(a)hugh-laptop:~$ telnet ftp.nz.debian.org 21 Trying 202.7.6.9... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out hugh(a)hugh-laptop:~$ On an interesting note, I tried using debian.ihug.co.nz/debian which is listed as a secondary server on http://www.debian.org/mirror/list. This gave me the error. hugh(a)hugh-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get update Hit ftp://debian.ihug.co.nz wheezy InRelease E: Release file for ftp://debian.ihug.co.nz/debian/dists/wheezy/InRelease is expired (invalid since 83d 20h 47min 21s). Updates for this repository will not be applied. hugh(a)hugh-laptop:~$ When I try using netselect-apt I get the following: hugh(a)hugh-laptop:~$ sudo netselect-apt wheezy <snip> The fastest 10 servers seem to be: http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ http://debian.mirror.uber.com.au/debian/ http://mirror.transact.net.au/debian/ http://mirror.cse.unsw.edu.au/debian/ http://mirror.optus.net/debian/ http://mirror.optus.net/debian/ http://debian.nautile.nc/debian/ http://ftp.iinet.net.au/debian/debian/ http://mirror.waia.asn.au/debian/ http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ Of the hosts tested we choose the fastest valid for HTTP: http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ Writing sources.list. Done. hugh(a)hugh-laptop:~$ Any thoughts? It used to work fine, and has only cropped up in the last few days. Cheers, Hugh
