3.5 second ping times to that site from here (Melbourne) (they are in WA). They are ftp.au.debian.org and www.au.debian.org too. So it's 3.5 seconds to www.au.debian.org, or 470ms to www.debian.org, or even 430ms to say www.de.debian.org. A bit disappointing. I use ftp://ftp.uwa.edu.au a lot for a mirror, <= 100ms. APT does do proxies, just set your environment variables eg http_proxy="http://proxy.isp.com.au:8080/"; I have to use one here too. thanks, Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
