Hi sound like they do the rare thing and listen to people's needs. Good one Russell.

We had some discussion about what mirror.aarnet.edu.au does and does not
host at the last Humbug meeting.  I said you can always ask them to
mirror something.

So following my own advice, I sent this:

Subject: Suggestions for additions

As a Debian user, it would make life easier if the following where added
to the archive.  

- Debian Backports http://www.backports.org/
- Debian Volatile http://www.debian.org/volatile/
- Debian Multimedia http://debian-multimedia.org/

They are all mirrored in Australia somewhere, but it would be nice if
aarnet was a one-stop-shop.  More than nice really, as the Linux User
Group I am president of (Humbug), gets limited bandwidth to everything
bar aarnet hosted content.

This is the response I got:
