Another possibility is, that DNS resolution is not working correctly.

So try replacing mirror.aarnet.edu.au with the IP address 192.111.32.2

or

Try to see one of these page:
http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/mirrors.html
http://199.183.24.140/mirrors/LDP/mirrors.html
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/
http://152.19.254.81/LDP/

or

Try any of the other mirrors:
