Notice of change to rsync modules

We have recently changed some of our rsync paths listed below as a part of backend changes required for continued stability of the AARNet Mirror service.

The following rsync endpoints were moved on 2026-03-31; if you are using them you will need to change your rsync path accordingly:

  • rsync://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/

    Directories under the pub module are now generally provided as top-level rsync modules.

    For example, rsync://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/debian/ is now available as rsync://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian/.
  • rsync://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/ubuntu/

    Ubuntu is now provided via the following rsync endpoints:
