You have contacted us, explained your situation, and we understood and said
you would be given access to the rsync repositories for the purpose of
creating a WWW mirror in Indonesia.
You however didn't want that because you wanted to make several mirrors and
your reasons weren't convincing to us ("it's a big country and badly
connected" is quite vague).
We're open for discussion about this, but as I recall last time you said you
understand freedom differently than we do, whatever that means :)
I'll let debian-cd people make their own conclusions.
