The problem is your directory listings don't match the 'standard' Apache mod_autoindex HTML output.
Specifically it's missing the "sort by" heading links. There's a regex that MB looks for when indexing the mirrors: ^.*<(PRE|pre|table)>.*<(a href|A HREF)="\?(N=A|C=.*;O=)[^"]*"> Your directory index doesn't match the "(N=A|C=.*;O=)" part. A few solutions: 1) MB prefers to index via rsync -- this is certainly a faster and more efficient way to do the indexing. If you enabled rsync for the mirror, we would be able to check against that. 2) FTP is the next preferred method before HTTP. 3) Change your mirror to use Apache so the directory indexes match what MB expects. 4) Patch MB to support lighttpd directory indexes. I'm going to investigate option 4 -- it's probably the most difficult, but it's the best option IMHO rather than having to 'force' rsync / ftp / Apache on our mirrors. (Even though having more rsync mirrors would be good!! ;P). It would be nice to be able to contribute something back upstream too. Cheers, ~p
