Thank you for doing a test.  The site maintainer encourages mirrors,
some of which (link) are supposed to offer Debian's testing branch.  I
just can't find one that works yet.

Ubuntu repos are trouble, too.  One user needed proprietary formats set
up (Real, WMF, etc) and although Ubuntu offers instructions, they are
flawed.  I had to download half a dozen packs that are not in Ubuntu's
repos at all, plus some obscure dependency libraries, etc., and crank
through installation errors.  A working Debian multimedia repo is
appealing.
