Being always on the lookout for a good fast mirror I decided to compare
cse.unsw and mirror.aarnet to see how they fair. The time is about 10:00pm
so I expect that they are getting average trafic.

Downloadeding Communicator 4.75 of 17.04Mb

hops		9		13

total time	1:16s		1:08
avg speed	224.21 KB/s	250.59 KB/s
max speed	334.2 KB/s	378.2 KB/s

So it looks like unsw is a bit faster. However aarnet has much much more
stuff from what I could see. Think I will stick with aarnet for a while.
