Inoffical Security Mirror

Our security mirror is no official security mirror and only thought as local cache. See the Debian Security FAQ for reasoning.

Its updates are not triggered by a push, hence the mirror may be out of date. If you want to use it, we suggest to use it like this:

deb http://security.debian.ethz.ch/ stable/updates main
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main

So if this security mirror already has the updated package mirrored, it's fetched from there as it's the first hit for the newest version. If not, the newest package is still already available and fetched from the official servers.

Use at your own risk!

Access by Alternative Protocols

Alternative access by FTP is possible.

The main Debian archives are accessible by rsync:

rsync debian.ethz.ch::debian
rsync debian.ethz.ch::debian-cd
rsync debian.ethz.ch::debian-archive
rsync debian.ethz.ch::debian-backports

Additionally, also the following archives are available by rsync:

rsync debian.ethz.ch::freesbie
rsync debian.ethz.ch::ubuntu

Discontinued Services

The mirroring of PCLinuxOS and Debian Ports has been discontinued.
