Australian Mirror? (was "sparc")

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 Nix At 01:44 AM 9/5/2000 +0200, you wrote:

erm I started downloading from ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc/sparc/suse-de-sparc yesterday. Am I right in assuming that the US version is still minus the crypto?

This is correct.

(I currently run the UK version of 6.4 which I was sent by your marketing dept in Germany :)

It should be possible to make the crypto stuff downloadable from ftp.suse.de within rather short time (please give me more than a few days: heads up for glibc+screen security update!). I'm afraid that there are more important things around these busy days...
