Not XNET, but NZ server at ftp://ftp.citylink.co.nz/ubuntu-releases/ or if you fancy the sneakernet approach, the July APC Mag cover DVD has iso's of V8.04, both Desktop & Server installs.

rphenix: wouldnt it be great if xnet had an apt mirror :) yeah... I use apt-cacher, so I'm only downloading updates/installs once... seems to work well, but a local traffic cache would be awesome...

ftp://ftp.citylink.co.nz/ pretty good & fast, if sometimes a bit outdated & overloaded

Well i directly asked xnet and they don't. Maybe more people need to inquire about it? Local content really costs very little for xnet to deliver to the end user. – J

heres another vote for linux mirrors, would save xnet a bundle on international bandwidth. i wonder if they could start a first and create a server to host alot of different distributions and only xnet users could get them. like a cache proxy. or a torrent tracker/file server to help lessen the load on international bandwidth.

A Linux mirror site would be an excellent asset - for me

There is ftp.wicks.co.nz which is local and holds the mirror for RedHat/CentOS. Cheers, Callum
