well .. not many people use debian (speaking from the download stats :)
and .. trust me ... it is DAMN hard to maintain a up-to-date mirror of
sunsite.unc.edu, some times you have to make sacrifices and sometimes there
is not a lot you can do about it even if you want too.
I think we (ftp.dstc.edu.au) finally decided to axe debian because it was
taking too long to mirror (and holding up the mirroring of other more popular
directories) and percentage wise .. no one was using it.

>mayybe its an oversight or something ..but it just aint here :P

Well .. I wish them luck down there in ANU .. tis a tought battle trying to
keep up.

Remember: be nice to them .. most of these people do it for Zero dollars,
so if you like their service .. send them a thank-you note/email :)
