We generally sync ours up from ftp.it.net.au (which is on WAIX also and
updates from master.debian.org). We used to update from
mirror.aarnet.edu.au, but stopped after they trouble they had with disk
space.

If there are any problems on the day I'll be around to help resolve them
- otherwise, it does update every night.

Cheers,
Grahame
