A few notes:
the -z should not do much since most files are compressed...
You could save some bandwidth by using -P or --partial in case of an interruption.
And maybe -l to keep symlinks.
Replace -q with -v to see what is going on.
Use -n to test more quickly.
mirror.optus.net does not seem to offer rsync...
