I have had trouble with that. mirror.aarnet is a maze of symlinks, all
different. I suspect some borrible interaction with chroot.
Try saying:
rsync mirror.aarnet.edu.au::
That lists the modules. Then you can just rsync a module (mozilla ain't
listed, it appears). FOr a single file it's easier to just fetch it
with a web browser (the http: scheme is a little smoother than the
ftp: scheme for browsing mirror.aarnet).
If you do figure out the scheme with the real pathnames let me know.
The named modules work fine, but I've not got anywhere with figuring
out the other ones.
Cheers,

This means that someone has scribbled with pencil in the test area
on the card. Erase the pencil mark and reboot. (This is not a joke).
