[Nix <nix@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was wondering why mirror.aarnet.edu.au (Which is Australia's largest 
mirror site)
Only has US updates and not the full ftp distro (US or German) I WAS mirroring
the whole ftp distro to ftp.jigsaw.net.au for a while, but the suse site 
was too slow,
it was taking DAYS to mirror. (I no longer work at Jigsaw in any case..)

An Australian mirror would do wonders for us down here :) It sucks having a
a 2Meg link and getting a download speed < 10K/sec :(

(/me wants SuSE 7.0 and /me wants it NOW!!! *grin*)


Ahh well... only 3 more days till the ISO's finish ... lol
