Hi, we've recently set ourselves up as a arch mirror, rsyncing from gatech.edu once/hour. The URL is:
http://mirror.pointysoftware.net/archlinux/

This is a dedicated box in Dallas, TX, hosted with softlayer. We have 200mbit/s dedicated to the mirror subdomain. Let me know if there's any other info you need- we hope this gets some use!

Thank you for providing the service, but I'm not willing to add the mirror to our official list.
We prefer our mirrors to be hosted by universities or ISPs (at least until package signing gets implemented).
You are free to add the mirror to the list of unofficial mirrors: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mirrors#United_States

Thanks for the response - disappointing, but totally understandable. I will add us to that list and reopen this down the road when package signing exists
