aka as ftp.au.debian.org

If your on waix however people would probably like you more if you
used any of the following. :)

ftp.linux.org.au/pub/debian
ftp.wa.au.debian.org/debian
ftp.uwa.edu.au/mirrors/linux/debian

You can make this in apt lines easily, you just do this.

deb ftp://ftp.linux.org.au/pub/debian stable main contrib non-free

ftp.linux.org.au doesn't support http

but ftp.wa.au.debian.org does so you can have

deb http://ftp.wa.au.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
