I ran it and got: [Mon Oct 12]~ $ ping -s 1472 -M dont -c 4 security.debian.org PING security.debian.org (128.61.240.73) 1472(1500) bytes of data. 1480 bytes from sechter.debian.org (128.61.240.73): icmp_req=1 ttl=52 time=70.3 mshttp.debian.net/ 1480 bytes from sechter.debian.org (128.61.240.73): icmp_req=2 ttl=52 time=70.5 ms 1480 bytes from sechter.debian.org (128.61.240.73): icmp_req=3 ttl=52 time=70.7 ms 1480 bytes from sechter.debian.org (128.61.240.73): icmp_req=4 ttl=52 time=70.7 ms Looks OK to me. I changed the backports repo from debian.net to uchicago.edu and everything just flows. Now, if I can only find the problem with security.debian.net, which as I understand it, has no trustworthy mirrors
