Hi,
I created a new archlinux mirror. It is available under the following urls:
- http://ftp.spline.inf.fu-berlin.de/mirrors/archlinux/
- ftp://ftp.spline.inf.fu-berlin.de/mirrors/archlinux/
- rsync://rsync.spline.inf.fu-berlin.de/archlinux

It currently syncs (like suggested in the wiki) at 3:00AM from 130.133.110.100.
The Server is located in Germany, Berlin.

The administrative contact email is: alex@spline.de

Hope that this is okay and this could become an official mirror.

Alex

Added to admin mirrorlist. Thanks!

You should have rsync access now to rsync.archlinux.org if you want to sync from there.

Now syncing with rsync://rsync.archlinux.org/ftp/.
Is a daily sync at 3:00 AM CET okay? Or should i sync more or less frequently?

Thanks

Feel free to go even 4 times a day. Every 3 to 6 hours shouldn't be a big deal for rsync.

You may want to move your syncs to a random minute rather than right on the hour to avoid other traffic- e.g. 3:23, 9:23, ...

Ok fine. Syncing now 6 times daily at a random minute from the master server.

On think: Would it be possible to change the name of the mirror on the mainpage from fu-berlin.de to spline.inf.fu-berlin.de?
Otherwise it may lead to confusion. Because the fu-berlin.de has also a general ftp but without archlinux.

Thanks :)

Changed in the admin, give it a few minutes to propagate through the caching.
