So I have a local sid+testing mirror I've been using for years, and just
updated it:
nice /usr/bin/debmirror --nocleanup --verbose --progress
--allow-dist-rename --arch=amd64
--section=main,main/debian-installer,contrib,non-free --dist=sid,testing
--host=ftp.iinet.net.au --method=http --root=pub/debian
--diff=none --rsync-extra=trace,doc,tools --exclude-deb-section=debug
--exclude='/Translation-.*\.bz2$' --include='/Translation-en.*\.bz2$'
/Library/Lpools/zen/p1-setups_misc/repos/debian/d00-sid+tst+src-64
The only "recent" change is adding i386 arch a couple weeks back.
sources.list is the single line:
deb file:/public/debian/sid sid main contrib non-free
# readlink -f /public/debian/sid

Yet if I add the same URL from which I am updating my mirror
(http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/debian/) with the following line to sources.list:
deb http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/debian sid main contrib non-free
.. then I am told "Need to get 975 MB/978 MB of archives."
What am I doing wrong here?
