Have today (11 Jan 0200 UTC) checked the new mirror at Christchurch. AFIK it is completely up to date
whereas the older MX.Debian mirror lacks some recent upgrades.

Great indeed. I don't know how the new one is sync'ed but the NZ Debian mirror was/is often a day behind the US.

@Gordon Cooper:
1. We agreed that he updates 4hourly from our top shot mirror Princeton U in the USA (40gbps)
2. Princeton U updates every hour from MX Utah
-> so by any means you have latest state in NZ in 5-6 hrs
He also says some other mirrors there take days to respond and weeks for resolution. Resolution for his mirrors is usually 6 hours
His available bandwidth is 2.5Gbps with an availability to grow to 20Gbps under load
Both nodes in Auckland and Christchurch are now up

@ aledie Thanks you, that answers my query about the sync.
Now that both Auckland and Christchurch are up, will there be a separate line for each one in the Repo listing? It would be better for users
in most of the North Island to choose Auckland.

@Gordon Cooper: no separate line needed, the URL address redirects you to the closest server/ node of those 2. It's how I understand it.
We will change the title in repo manager to NZ/ Auckland & Christchurch to not confuse users

Checked again at 140310Z still getting 404 on main for x64 and 386, still it is better than the old Tauranga mirror it does not yet know that
that update exists.
