Lots of people don't actually know how the internet works (or doesn't sometimes), as in how the data is transmitted /routered ;) Often you will get what ever you are downloading faster from out side the country. Example: when ever I decide to download the latest Linux to play with, never get it from the NZ location servers - USA is always faster. Are you talking about the kernel, or a distro? If you're talking about distros, mirror.pacific.net.au has many of the major ones, and is damn fast from a telstra cable connection - it will usually eat all the capacity available on mine. Sadly the same cannot be said for the citylink mirror (which incidentally appears to route via LA), although as it's a useless and frequently broken mirror anyway...	Erayd (23)
