this mirror isn't synced araound 14 days.

I prefer to remove this mirror.
If removing is not an option than please put this mirror in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist at the end of german mirrors.

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Mirrorlist ranking changes work as a general solution

Even though I wouldn't use it as regular pacman mirror, that one is still nice because it keeps old packages. It's already listed on http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade_packages ... perhaps add a note about that somewhere else, too.

I've moved this to the bottom of the German mirrors in the mirrorlist file for now, does that seem like an acceptable solution?

Dan,
i think this is ok. This mirror could be used as an backup mirror for some older versions as mentioned
by Jens Adams, but this versions becames more an more useless in further times.

But this is one of only three mirror for Germany, and it seems that not the admins at tu-chemnitz are
sleeping. They do mirroring archlinux from sunsite.unc-mirror, maybe the problem is on their site.
At the moment we're looking for more german mirrors. But since we could find better mirrors kicking
tu-chemnitz isn't necassary IMHO.
I try to contact ftpmaster "as a normal user", maybe we get a response.

Hey, at the moment tu-chemnitz is (mostly) synced again.
