Hi You receive this mail because you are listed as contact for debian.charite.de. Please select a upstream mirror different to ftp.de.debian.org, for example the system behind it: debian.inf.tu-dresden.de. Only http is guaranteed to be available at ftp.<CC>.d.o sites. You exclude a large number of architectures. Since some versions you can also set a architecture include list, which makes it easier to read. You run ftpsync 20171017, which by itself is okay. However starting with this version, ftpsync sends you an email every week about the availability of a new version. As you have not reacted on it, I assume that you never receive such mail. Please make sure that you actually receive mails sent from ftpsync, which are usually messages about errors during it's operation. Regards, Bastian
