Precisely. I imagine that this would have occurred because Pacific or
AARNet or whoever else last hosted the mirror requested that they no
longer be pointed at. Alternatively, the Canonical mirror admins might
have decided that the service provided by the old mirror was inadequate
(out of date, often down, etc.)

It's rather sad that this is happening here, but it's the same even in
the US... Lots of the more obscure countries have wonderful local mirrors!
