We've got an ongoing action item to set up a traditional pkg and download mirror at IX Australia. This has kept stalling out over the past year-and-a-bit because the world is on fire. I'll try to pick this up again Soon. Currently, from Australia you're either sent to a pkg or download mirror in Malaysia or on the west coast of America. Neither of those are great. Australia is a big island, far away from everywhere. :) Glad to hear the AWS stuff is working for you. I'll see what needs to happen to put that in the SRV record for everyone.
