You don't? And what if one house falls over?

They said they do. From what I heard, they used to be a Debian
mirror, till they realised they were severely short of disk space so
gave it the flick. And it will be returning after Christmas or
RSN(tm) as per the original email. But yes, apparently they have
their own internal mirror.

One thing I forgot to ask and will contact them about shortly, but
someone here might know and give me a quicker response - seeing as
iiNet does not get charged for WAIX traffic, does that mean that
customers do not either? Currently "internal traffic" to iiNet is
not charged for/counted, but does WAIX still count? Because Planet
Mirror is on WAIX and that'd be handy - Debian's already there :)
