[22:24] <olly> ibeardslee: does catalyst still have a public debian mirror?
[22:25] <olly> http://catalyst.net.nz/services says "Catalyst maintains local mirrors of these distributions.", but doesn't seem to say where to find them
[22:26] <olly> http://wiki.wlug.org.nz/NewZealandLinuxMirrors suggests it was at http://www.nz.kernel.org/pub/debian/ but that doesn't work now
[22:27] <ibeardslee> olly not sure they are overly public
[22:27] <ibeardslee> debian.catalyst.net.nz ?
[22:28] <olly> hmm, so the chances of them getting registered for http.debian.net are quite low then I guess...
[22:28] <olly> it's kind of sad that its best option is in .au currently
[22:28] <ajmitch> ibeardslee: at least it's not 6 months behind like some mirrors have been at times
[22:29] <olly> ftp.nz.debian.org uses antiquated mirroring scripts, so http.d.n doesn't use it
[22:29]  * ajmitch mirrors from http.us.debian.org nightly with debmirror at home
[22:30] <ajmitch> easier to do that than to wait around when I do want to install something
[22:32] <olly> not sure my always on machine has the space
[22:32] <olly> and that doesn't help when I'm not at home
[22:33] <olly> http.debian.net is nice because it picks a fairly local mirror that is up to date and likely to actually work, and will update its choice automatically if I'm overseas
[22:34] <ajmitch> no it doesn't,  I'm just saying I had to fall back to http.us.d.o because of a lack of reliable debian mirrors in NZ :)
[22:34] <olly> i should probably focus on trying to get ftp.nz.debian.org in a state where it can be used
[22:34] <olly> ISTR finding it hard to work out who to contact when I looked before
