Recently? I know qsi has had the openbsd mirror for at least two years, even the official nz mirror: [nic(a)inktiger:~] host ftp.nz.openbsd.org ftp.nz.openbsd.org CNAME mirror.qsi.net.nz mirror.qsi.net.nz A 202.89.128.30 Hell I used them for grabbing the 2.7 snapshots. Most ISP, plus citylink already have mirrors of the popular linux stuff. (Although I wish someone would start mirror deb-src again, they all seemed to haved disappear - even the Australian one.) What maybe is lacking for these sorts of files is user education, but I don't know the stats of tranfers from the international linux mirrors. At the end of the day the kinda files (like what ftp.jetstreamgames.co.nzi had) had are difficult to mirror as they are so cyclic.
