What's the current state of mirror.aarnet.edu.au?

Its CPAN archive got so badly out of date it broke CPAN completely.
I had to hand edit in a different mirror (good ol' mirror.kernel.org)
 and delete all my CPAN history and cache to get it working again.

At present I avoid it like the plague.

PS: An ISO is an ISO, if mirror.aarnet has the one you want
 and it checksums OK then use it, don't be put off by me.
