	For sunsite try ftp://sunsite.anu.edu.au and
ftp://ledge.dstc.edu.au. ledge particularly is a very good sunsite mirror.
For up to date kernel sources try ftp://ftp.monash.edu.au/ - I just checked
- they now have 2.0, though it only came out Saturday.

	Yes. Go to http://www.unimelb.edu.au/public/aumirrors.html. A list
of Australian mirrors by original site's domain. Not always entirely
accurate and up to date, but very useful nonetheless. Also useful is
http://www.telstra.com/internet/index.html, where Telsta has mirrors of a
number of popular WWW search engines.
