Hi, Debian mirrors currently serve archive.debian.org via both HTTP and rsync. As part of improving the reliability of the service for users, the Debian mirrors team is separating the access methods to different host names: - http://archive.debian.org/ will remain the entry point for HTTP clients such as APT - rsync://rsync.archive.debian.org/debian-archive/ is now available for those who wish to mirror all or parts of the archives. rsync service on archive.debian.org will stop in the near future (possibly around the 23rd of this month), and we encourage anyone using it to migrate to the new host name as soon as possible. If you are currently rsyncing debian-archive from a debian.org server that forms part of the archive.debian.org rotation, we also encourage you to move to using the new service name. This will allow us to better manage which back-end servers offer rsync service in future. Note that due to its nature the content of archive.debian.org does not change frequently - generally there will be several months, possibly more than a year, between updates - so checking for updates more than once a day is unnecessary. Regards, Adam for the Debian mirrors team
