Interesting I'm on TPG in sydney also, and I had problems getting to mirror.aarnet a few days ago also.. didn't think anything of it at the time, just used planetmirror instead..
however, when I read this, something went *twig* inside my head.. I'm off to the doctors to get that looked at now, but on my way out, I did a traceroute and noticed this: Hostname 1. syd-ts5-2600.tpgi.com.au 2. syd-lan-gw.tpgi.com.au 3. syd-7206.tpgi.com.au 4. sl-gw26-stk-2-3.sprintlink.net 5. sl-bb20-stk-8-0.sprintlink.net 6. sl-bb22-stk-14-0.sprintlink.net 7. 144.232.18.158 8. 157.at-5-1-0.XR1.SAC1.ALTER.NET 9. 0.so-0-1-0.XL1.SAC1.ALTER.NET 10. 0.so-3-0-0.TL1.SAC1.ALTER.NET 11. 0.so-2-0-0.TL1.LAX9.ALTER.NET 12. 0.so-6-0-0.CL1.LAX4.ALTER.NET 13. 193.ATM6-0.GW8.LAX4.ALTER.NET 14. optus-gw.customer.ALTER.NET 15. pos10-1-0.ig2.optus.net.au 16. gi5-0-0.mi2.optus.net.au 17. VICRNO-INT.mi2.optus.net.au 18. vic-act.atm.net.aarnet.edu.au 19. ??? My guess would be that aarnet's seeing the traffic coming in as being international traffic and hence dropping it - it's definitely nothing to do with TPG Jason, who runs both mirror.aarnet and planetmirror, and who I've cc'd this email to, can probably provide more info.. <quote who="Jonathan Kelly"> > Hi, > > I guess it could be blocked, but why would my ISP (tpg) do that???
