[Voyage-linux] Unable to complete apt-get update from ftp.hk.debian.org

Hi,

I've been trying to get an ALIX box with a fresh Voyage install to
complete 'apt-get update' for past couple of days and it always fails
to complete. The remote connection tends to get disconnected a number
of times and finally hits a gzip error.

Changing Voyage's default /etc/apt/sources.list from ftp.hk.debian.org
to ftp.debian.org gets me pass the gzip error.

Anybody here know how best get ftp.hk.debian.org mirror fixed (who to contact?).

Would it be possible for default Voyage install have more fallback
server locations?
