I never said "caused". I said that the kernel mirrors were only excaberating
a problem. Stop being a nit-picking smartarse and dodging my questions.

How the bloody hell is this a contradiction?
This is NOT. A. CONTRADICTION.
Let me be entirely clear on this.
ONE HUNDRED AND TEN MEGABYTES PER KERNEL RELEASE DOES NOT HELP MIRRORS WHICH HAVE
OUT OF SYNC PACKAGES FILES AND ACTUAL PACKAGES HALF THE TIME.
So far, you have yet to prove me wrong.
Show me HOW the HELL an extra 110meg HELPS these poor, generally crippled,
mirrors (btw, ftp.au.d.o is now fixed, probably just took a while to snarf
all those kernel-* packages), and I will STFU. Until then, you've been
dodging my question. ANSWER IT.
