Yes, Monash mirrors from AARNet. I used to look after the Linux mirroring when I worked at Monash (I left last June) - I set it up originally to mirror from the US, but when mirror.aarnet.edu.au got started I was persuaded to mirror from them. > As for AARNet - problems seem to come and go all the time.

On my Telstra ADSL link, I see this : % netselect -vv mirror.aarnet.edu.au ftp.wa.au.debian.org mirror.aarnet.edu.au 48 ms 10 hops 50% ok ( 5/10) [ 194] ftp.wa.au.debian.org 67 ms 17 hops 60% ok ( 3/ 5) [ 299] 194 mirror.aarnet.edu.au Of course, the advantage of mirror.aarnet being broken all last week means we missed the whole woody/glibc saga :) -- Andrew J Cosgriff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> the yesterdays of our lives
