I've added your mirror, thanks! I'll keep this report open for tier 1 status in 6 to 9 months.

This mirror is already 5 days out of date, with ISOs that are more than 4 YEARS out of date. What's going on?

not quite sure how this is possibly happening - checking we don't have duplicate mirring scripts running - we did unofficially mirror archlinux before and were massively out of sync so i have been assuming it was done manually and never automated

the last update was a factor of the update silently failing - fixed the permissions issue that caused this - am re-syncing now and watching it

From what i can tell - only the ISO's appear to be old - files in the community folder appear to be OK as is extras etc

found the issue.... by default the script i downloaded from arch wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:NewMirrors) excluded ISO's and a few other folders - i have now removed all excludes and am resyncing to pull the updates to isos and anything else missing

all should be fixed now

Are you still interested in tier 1 status?
Comment by Anthony Somerset (anthonysomerset) - Thursday, 13 June 2019, 15:26 GMT
Sorry for the delay, yes we are thanks

I've promoted you to tier 1.

Please switch to one of the *_tier1 modules on "rsync://rsync.archlinux.org". You'll probably want "rsync://rsync.archlinux.org/ftp_tier1". Reply here once you've switched so I can close this request.

If you want to sync more often than once an hour, please consider using a script like this[1] to reduce the amount of rsync traffic when there are no changes.

Thanks, we have switched over now, we have also updated sync times to once per hour, i'm happy with that interval if you are?

Hourly syncs are totally fine with me. Thanks!
