That alias is still alive and active and should be okay to use. It just isn't the preferred thing these days. But it shouldn't cause harm by using it. $ host http.us.debian.org http.us.debian.org is an alias for ftp.us.debian.org. So no difference from ftp.us.debian.org which is still just fine to use. I am still using the ftp.us.debian.org for most things here in the US. But the redirector at http.debian.net is gaining a good reputation and I am using it and recommending it more and more. I think it will eventually get promoted to be a first class debian.org service. Bob
