Thanks Craig.

Seems that none of the Redhat mirrors have been updated sinced Redhat-9 (ie
years ago). The other two which look more promising are ftp.wicks.co.nz which
is running very very slow right now (maybe overloaded?), and
[wix|ape].fast.co.nz which are unreachable right now.

I wonder if the lack of mirrors is due to lack of interest, cost, or just no-one
  really interested...other Linux distributions seem to be well mirrored though
especially Debian, so I suspect the latter.

Perhaps it's time to put my hand up and say that I'd be interested in talking
with anyone about (me) supplying, organising and administering a server for NZ
only (APE/WIX) accessible downloads of Redhat and any other Linux distribution
if there are any ISP's out there which would be willing to provide rack space
and APE/WIX connectivity.

Thanks,
Reuben
