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
