No the mirror hasn't been setup yet. That's what I'm here asking. If you guys would like another mirror. For some reason I've been asked to submit this request here.

If you would like another mirror located with the information above then someone with the right authority will hopefully let me know.

Then i misunderstud your initial posting, sorry.

I think no distribution would say No to new mirror offers, so archlinux too. So, if you could provide a new mirror you should:
Put the beast online.
Make a initial sync on an other mirror with rsync access close to your location.
Provide the URLs and a contact address in this report.
Tell if you need to rsync to archlinux.org directly (where you must also provide a rsync IP to gain access on archlinux.org rsync).

Jonathan mailed me private.

His offer is a ISO download mirror, so his provided URL should go to http://www.archlinux.org/download/

I added the mirror to the mirrors database so it shows up on that page. I'm not sure its a good idea though, its supposed to be a database of full mirrors.
