old: http|ftp://arch.mirrors.tuxdroid.org (Will be online until 2012-07-03.) new: ftp://ftp.tuxdroid.org/archlinux http://ftp.tuxdroid.org/archlinux The new addresses should be reachable by IPv6 (Please tell me, if your experience differs from mine. IPv6-connectivity is something like a beta-feature at this time.). ftp.tuxdroid.org is rsyncing from mirror.de.leaseweb.net. Kind regards Alexander

[arch-mirrors] starting new archlinux repo

Hello, i just subscribed to the arch-mirrors mailing list, because i'm trying to start an Arch mirror on a university server maintained by me. This is the address of the new mirror: http://biometria.elte.hu/archlinux/ And i added this line to the system's crontab: 44 * * * * rsync -rtlvH --delete-after --delay-updates --safe-links --max-delete=1000 rsync://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/archlinux/ /srv/http/archlinux/ Could you check if everything is ok with that? Should i do anything else? Best regards, Denes -- denes turei ~~~ public key (tureidenes(a)gmail.com) http://keys.kfwebs.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x5706A4B609DD65A6 ~~~ fingerprint=0A51 F78E 8714 061E 8159 30A2 5706 A4B6 09DD 65A6

[arch-mirrors] UK2 Arch mirror hardware upgrade complete and IP change
by David Precious 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

Hi all, For any of you who'd decided to stop syncing from the UK2 Arch mirror (mirrors.uk2.net) the new high-spec server is now in action, and mirrors.uk2.net has been changed to resolve to the IP of the new box - 83.170.94.3. The problem with the previous server was primarily that its discs couldn't keep up with the demand, so it was spending a lot of time in IO wait. It has been replaced by a box with SAS drives in RAID10, 24GB of RAM for plentiful caching, and dual quad-core Xeons - so should be far more capable of handling the load. Therefore, those of you desiring to sync from a UK mirror but who were put off by previous problems, firstly please accept my apologies, and secondly, you should find things *much* better now. If you happen to see any issues, of course, please do let me know, but all appears to be working well. Cheers Dave P -- David Precious ("bigpresh") <davidp(a)preshweb.co.uk> http://www.preshweb.co.uk/ www.preshweb.co.uk/twitter www.preshweb.co.uk/linkedin www.preshweb.co.uk/facebook www.preshweb.co.uk/cpan www.preshweb.co.uk/github

After a failed update, cake.lib.fit.edu is currently down. I hope to have it restored in the next day or so. Tom
