I have emailed them to check if this is accidental. no response yet.
Thanks for the report. The mirror should have been removed from the mirrorlist automatically. Unfortunately the process scanning the mirror has been OOM killed for the last two days, so that it never reached the point to auto-disable this mirror. The mirror is now disabled and will disappear from the mirrorlists in the next hour.
