James, Question for you about pacific mirror (which I used to use). It is actually an ibiblio mirror of arch and doesn't seem to be updated all that often. A month ago I did a side by side file comparision of versions of the packages and some of them on the ibiblio mirror were quite out of date.
Hence I rsynced the entire arch linux respository onto my file server here at work and rsync it daily as I have 4 ARCH machines on my network here at work and like to keep them up to date (should add them to the stat's I guess) I'd prefer to use the pacific mirror as well, as their ftp stuff is really fast. I'm actually also on a closed network with Pacific which links all the hospitals and general practices in Newcastle. I've asked Ben Haines form Pacific to directly mirror the main Arch Linux site as distrinct from ibiblio and he said they would consider it. Must ring him up and chase that. Where are you in AU?
