Please refrain from giving false figure, it seems seems your script
misinterprent the list contents:
- tested Alias as if it were an alternate Site name, while it's intended to be
  a clue about the trace file to be searched. (e.g.: debian.proxad.net)
- still test disabled mirrors, i.e ignore X-Archive-http status, which says the
  mirror is not valid through this path (e.g: cudlug.cudenver.edu) 
- other cases like ftp.tu-chemnitz.de, which is ok, I don't know why your
  script considers it nok (not using apache listing ?)

I'm sure few mirrors in the list are indeed not working, but that's certainly
not 1/7.

http://mirror.debian.org/status.html (whose perl code is not happy with ftp
with its recent move to bellini)
