I tried http://ip/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch , but pacman says it cannot find them the different tar.gz files to download, but once I install Arch, and add the mirror to mirrorlist as Server = http://ip/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch it works great. Will keep trying to get it work :).

Good Evening,
I was trying to use a custom mirror during an install today, it is only a HTTP server currently. Is this a problem, does it need to be ftp? As the mirror does work with pacman after install.
Thanks!
Tom
There are no limitations on the protocol used, as long as the program used for the downloading supports it. By default atleas ftp, http and local repositories are supported.
