apt-get update unable to connect to ftp.de.debian.org
Hello,
I've been unable to connect to ftp.de.debian.org for the last few days using apt-get. When I run apt-get update everything looks fine until I get to...

When I look in /etc/apt/source.list, ftp.de.debian.org is all over the place...
# Stable
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/pub/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/pub/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
# Stable Sources
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/pub/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/pub/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
Is the solution as simple as finding another source and replacing that with all the occurances of ftp.de.debian.org/ or would that create other problems?

hmm... that's wierd.
Try using ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ (notice the omitted 'de')
as for me, I use Ubuntu sources even in my knoppix hd-install. All my programs come from Ubuntu and I haven't found any problems thus far.
try backing up your sources.list then make a new one with only one input which is...
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main restricted universe

You're not the only one. I have been having this problem too. I think their server is down. Big problems. I'll post if I see it come back up.
[edit] I tried changing all the "de" to "us" but all I got was a bunch of errors. The directory structure on the US server is different from the DE server. If someone has a sources.list file for debian US, I would greatly appreciate it if you could post its location.

try this
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable unstable testing woody

ooops sorry I made a mistake.
these are the correct ones:
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ woody main contrib non-free
pls let me know if they work

apt-get update problem resolves...
Thank you for the replies. I was able to update my source.list file based on your suggestions and everything is up and running. On one hand I'm glad I'm not the only one who had experienced troubles with ftp.de.debian.org, on the other, I hope nothing bad happened. Thanks again.

The defaults are working again. The sources.list file that is installed with the CD will perform a full update now.
I personally don't know what the difference is between the DE and US mirrors other than their location. Everything I "apt-got" from the DE servers previously was still in english... so idk...

The word mirror says it all, they're supposed to be identical. Just that the de ones are in germany, and the us ones in usa. You can use apt-spy to find a mirror close to you or have a look at the debian mirror site. For instance I'm in Finland and so I use:
# Unstable Finland
deb ftp://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free

apt-spy overwrites your sources.list file. What I did was:
1. Backup the original sources.list file
2. Optional: Modify sources.list to use the official debian mirrors from your country. I changes all the .de. to .us.
3. Run apt-spy with the parameters I needed
4. Add the results from apt-spy to the original sources.list instead of replacing the old file. So in case 1 mirror fails for any reason, there will be a 2nd one to go and look at.
My sources.list looks like:
--GN
