I wrote a little call to help post today as well as a comparison of where our users are vs mirrors. This is using a small sampling of people that have connected to our mirrors site. Not an exact science but interesting none the less, thought I'd share.

FWIW, there is a need to have more Fedora mirrors in China. Downloading/ Updating packages was quite a pain until a mirror (thanks to Candis) was setup. I was complained when I attended BLUG in Beijing. But if there are any Chinese volunteers here who is able to setup a mirror, that would really help our users *a lot*.

I know in Australia there are a lot of ISP's that mirror off each other and that generally propagates out. The example is my isp ftp.iinet.net.au mirrors off planetmirror yet its done on a 24 hour basis I believe. The only issue I have is that if the release of Fedora happens to be on a Thursday/Friday US time then we don't get it till Monday, Tuesday of the following week. While thats not your issue it's painting a picture of how my isp works.
Is there a way to talk to some of the mirrors in Australia? I know of about 3-4 mirrors that aren't listed (not confirmed) maybe because they are sub-mirrors.
Cheers,
Marc

I suppose to add to the list to make it at least of some value.
http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/ - Not fedora 7 (not sure why but a lot of people struggled in switching) ftp://ftp.iinet.net.au - Does some of Fedora http://mirror.internode.on.net/ Does some http://www.pacific.net.au/mirror/ http://www.filearena.net/
These are just a quick look. There are a few universities that offer mirroring as well. Is there a way to get a look at a region's mirrors to see if marketing can help locate other mirrors for infrastructure to have a chat to?
