    Hello Pavlos,

    Since last week I've been trying to run apt update but I keep getting
    the following error message when it comes to ftp.gr.debian.org.

    Personally, I would suggest you don't use a specific repo, but use http://deb.debian.org/debian/ instead. This uses a whole swathe of
    servers, connecting you to the best(1) server for you at that time.
    It's also far less prone to 'server down' errors.

    (1) For certain values of 'best', of course. Which may not be the fastest/closest server, but will always give you a pretty good result,
    IME.

    Hello,

    try it with http instead of https. For the other things you are also not using https, so should not be a problem here.

    Hello,

    https is not implemented for any ftp*.*.debian.org mirror.

    You can find a discussion about why also in the list archive. See for example https://lists.debian.org/debian-mirrors/2017/09/msg00031.html and https://lists.debian.org/debian-mirrors/2017/09/msg00011.html

    It seems it works with http instead of https. Why so?

    Hi,

    deb.debian.org is operated by us and is available on https, so that's
    what we recommend.

    ftp*.*.debian.org are operated by third parties, we need to be able to
    retarget these names at any time, so I doubt they'll ever get https.
    Individual mirrors can of course offer https service at their discretion
    on a different DNS name, as e.g. https://ftp.acc.umu.se/debian/ does.

    Cheers,
    Julien

    OK, now it's clear, although I always prefer using https.
    Could this be considered an improvement for future?
