Thanks. The original mail was send by me long back before I subscribed
to this list and has been struck on the moderation queue for a while I
guess. I did find this page and added a note on source packages. It
would very useful if the individual mirrors had a note clearly marking
the type of access (http/ftp/rynsc), repositories (core/extras),
architecture, source and binary packages and other details so users can
quickly understand which mirror carry the content they want and how to
access them.
