I suppose to add to the list to make it at least of some value.
http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/ - Not fedora 7 (not sure why but a lot of
people struggled in switching)
ftp://ftp.iinet.net.au - Does some of Fedora
http://mirror.internode.on.net/ Does some
http://www.pacific.net.au/mirror/
http://www.filearena.net/
These are just a quick look. There are a few universities that offer
mirroring as well. Is there a way to get a look at a region's mirrors
to see if marketing can help locate other mirrors for infrastructure to
have a chat to?
Cheers,
Marc
