How do I know if it's 'local' and free under Xnet's rules for their
broadband plans?

TIA,

Yes, traffic from ftp.wicks.co.nz mirror server is counted as local
(free) to xnet customers if that is the question.

Interesting, didn't know that mirror existed, will have a play with
fedora since the download is a freebie

Thanks for providing the hosting Tony.

No problem, the mirror has existed (ftp.redhat.co.nz to start with) has
existed for many years (10 or so), and been hosted at Xnet for the last
3 or 4. Bandwidth kindly donated by the nice people at Xnet.

The OP had sent a separate query so it seemed like a fair comment... hey
remember I get nothing from people using my server apart from warm drives !

If your the traffic is within the Xnet IP ranges -

58.28.0.0/16
118.90.0.0/16

Then its "local"

Righto - so bugger all worth having. Obviously that's why it's easy for
them to make it free. Cheers

Traffic off the xnet hosted akamai servers is free which covers quite a
few useful bits and pieces.
