My ISP has excellent connectivity to the US, last time I updated from
the US site I was going at almost full bandwidth. The connectivity to
Australian sites, however... not always good.
My advice is to find a mirror that is networkwise (topologically?) close and
fast, not geographically. Finding your own favourite mirror is left as
an excercise for the reader.
(i really like aarnet's mirror, don't get me wrong; i use it for
everything, because they tend to mirror everything)
