Actually Monash does seem to be up to date. I used it yesterday.
Unfortunately the bandwidth from there is not always very good.

I get "cannot set guest priviledges" from that with ftp.

Looks like it should be pretty fast too.
Thanks for the list. Although the shortening mirror list is
mildly concerning -- first www.unimelb.edu.au gone, then
ftp.usyd.edu.au gone, ... Still, at least ftp.debian.org
is fast enough from here. Yesterday I had a hell of a time
getting some Slackware boot disks, everywhere I tried was
just so slow (including Monash, ftp.cdrom.com, etc).
