I get 10Mbits from my own ISP's mirror, and I'd probably get the same  
from any other official Australian mirror sites. I have ADSL2+. If I  
tried any mirror sites outside of Australia it would probably be  
noticeably slower. If you're in SE Asia I'd imagine any mirror site in  
Singapore or Korea or Japan should be quite fast. Those countries seem  
to be the main "hubs" for traffic in that region.
