Maybe they don't even have them. It'd be nice if someone took up the
task to contact blackdown about their mirror status and debian packages,
last time I wanted to add support for a certain blackdown release, I
couldn't because not a single mirror was bother working and had the
package uptodate (and gave more than 5kB/s download).

If you could identify a working, uptodate and good-bandwidth mirror,
that'd be appreciated. If needed, I could maybe offer the blackdown
project a master mirror site with rsync/ftp/http, and arrange some good
mirrors even. A few core mirrors under the blackdown.org DNS name would
be nice to get some more reliability there, as if a mirrors breaks, you
can point DNS to some other mirror that does work.
