weird, i can't find apt-setup either...
well sorry, it was a long time ago since i needed it.

i can give you a list of debian mirrors, but i can't find any australian http mirror.
ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/README.mirrors.html
example:

Code:

deb ftp&#58;//ftp.at.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free

I can give yout the Belgian http mirrors if you want them

(pretty fast connections, +/- 420kB/s )

Yeah, they always say to use nearby mirrors but I've often found mirrors that were overseas to be faster than my local mirrors. I usually experiment with mirrors from various locations then stick with the fastest ones, regardless of location.
