Description

It's possible this is just pedantic, but the mirror options shown for Australia when downloading openSUSE Leap (and possibly other distros) are a little outdated -
Netspace
Internode
iiNet
These 3 are all the same server - same IP, same files, same company. There was a time when they were 3 different entities but those days are long gone.
It looks like the remaining options should be AARNet and iiNet (until iiNets parent company changes it again)

Research direction

Start by locating the Australian mirror entries in the MirrorCache data or configuration and verify the reported Netspace, Internode, and iiNet overlap. Done means the outdated duplicate options are removed or consolidated while AARNet and iiNet remain available for Australia.
