http://ftp.au.debian.org/ is the .au official one, but PlanetMirror (the guys running it, thanks for that) have had some troubles with hardware and stuff, so I sometimes use http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org/ instead. If you're an Internode customer, you can use ftp://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/debian. A few other providers also have their own mirrors for their customers, but you'll have to find out from your provider about that, and hassle them if it isn't up to snuff. - Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
