Ooh, silly me, I should have posted this earlier! Totally forgot about it.

Here are the offical mirror sites found on the blender3d.org download page:
USA: ftp://ftp.cs.umn.edu/pub/blender.org/
Australia: http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/blender/

The blender installers are inside the ‘release’ folder.
