Description: I am making this request per advice of Simo L. I am launching a new software download mirror, I am running a 100 MBit unmeetered connection. I currently host a few other Linux Distros and have a susyem to allow tracking on the total downloads. Here is the message I sent Simo

Hello Arch Linux Team,

I am starting a free download mirror targeted on Linux Distros.
I have a dedicated 100 MB Download Line (Unmeetered) and Dedicated
servers. I was wondering if you are in need of another Mirror. I
currently host 2 other Linux distros, but plan to add many others. The
downloads are HTTP. Unlike other Linux Mirrors, I have created a way
to allow you to track the number of downloads through my service,

If interisted, please let me know and I will be able to set up
your own dedicated/branded download URL


Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
This task depends upon

Thanks for the mirror Keith,

Could you also provide me with this info:

- Country the mirror is located in (assuming USA)
- E-mail address the admin can be contacted at (assuming kmyers@k-disk.com)
Comment by Keith Myers (KMyers) - Saturday, 30 August 2008, 02:47 GMT
Both are correct, It is a US Based Server out of Scantron, Pennsylvania (HostNOC)

And yes, I am the primary contact for this

Sorry, but i don't see that this is a real mirror.

Provided URL leads to an normal website from pasm-mirrors.

Seems to only be an ISO download mirror - and not a plain http/ftp style one either.

I'm in favor of a all-or-nothing approach for mirrors, so this one would be out.

Status?

The site is IMHO a little overloaded with advertisement, but it seems functional. After agreeing to mirror hoster disclaimer the ISOs are downloadable. It's an iso download mirror only, so it could sit on the Download page...

The subdomain seems gone.
