They are not listed as official mirrors on the distributions mirror list (which I can understand to reduce traffic) 2. The lack of anyway to find out where the mirrors are and the status of a particular NZ mirror, e.g. what is covered by the mirror and how frequently it is updated. -- Regards Scott Newton R&D Analyst Quanta Systems Ltd 3rd Floor, 60 Khyber Pass Road PO Box 2288, AUCKLAND Tel: (09) 302 3760 Fax: (09) 302 3784 Website: http://www.quanta.co.nz The information contained in this email is privileged and confidential and intended for the addressee only.
