I don't know about ii-net's mirror or uwa as I always use
ftp.wa.au.debian.org and haven't had any major problems in the 4+ years
I have been using it. Being an official mirror also ensure that latency
as a result of infrequent updates is not an issue. (Plus it is on WAIX
which is great for me).

Synopsis. Try one of the official mirrors.
