I've just downloaded the DVD ISO from Aussie.
If there are any public FTP sites that people would like me to put it on...

Note: I'm connected direct to Global-Gateway (100Mbit/s) who I think are
peered with APE, otherwise this will count as International traffic for most
people...

Later'ish
Craig
