I'm in Melbourne. I get better speeds from pacific than any other mirror in Australia, im on Optus Cable.
I realise the mirror is a ibiblio mirror, but it hasnt ever seemed that far behind to me. I know that when it was started a few months ago, it did have some issues, but nowadays it's fine. The archck community package was released on tuesday, and it was put on the mirror sometime before today, which isnt too bad. All the same, a proper mirror would be much better and certainly more reliable. Pacific is Australia's only Arch mirror, so it's be great to get a complete one. Even better would be an Optus one, but I can't see that happening soon :) Thanks!
