Thanks much! Didn't even know that page existed.
You also could easy check a mirror with this script: --------------- #!/bin/sh # # Test Arch Linux Mirror status # Parameter: URL to test (full path to Arch Linux dir on mirror) # 2008/06/10 Gerhard Brauer <gerbra@archlinux.de> # ARCHES="i686 x86_64" REPOS="core extra community" echo echo "Mirror-URL: $1" echo "Last timestamp from rsync.archlinux.org (updated each hour)" echo "------------------------------------------------------------" for arch in ${ARCHES}; do for repo in ${REPOS}; do echo -e -n "$arch-$repo:\t" date +"%x %X" -u -d @$(wget -q -O - $1/$repo/os/$arch/lastsync) done done --------------- ex.: sh /tmp/mt.sh ftp://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux shows you (in UTC) the lastsync time. Means: this mirror has last synced to his upstream between the displayed timestap and displayed timestamp + 1 hour. To see the time according to your timezone, remove the -u parameter on date call.
