Comment 6 for bug 162865

I agree, this mirror is useless.

I would personally love to see a manual option for selecting your mirror, because in AU, lots of ISP do mirroring which is not counted in traffic usage. I wouldn't mind so much, but the Optus mirror takes a ridiculously long time to do anything. It's even useless as a sourceforge mirror too. I keep having to select Taiwan or Japan.

Can we have au.archive.ubuntu.com point to another mirror? Maybe AARNet, Pacific or even the Uni of WA?
