Hi All,
When I installed Arch I chose http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch as the mirror since they are my ISP, however I haven't had any updates recently, and in looking at the kernel versions it appears that the mirror isn't being updated, e.g. for the kernel:
http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/archlinux/core/os/x86_64/ -> linux-4.2.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
http://mirror.rackspace.com/archlinux/core/os/x86_64/ -> linux-4.3.3-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/archlin … os/x86_64/ -> linux-4.3.3-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Is this to be expected? Are there known issues with the iinet mirror? etc.
Thanks,
Alistair

Wow, looking at the last sync time/date, that's one crappy mirror.

Thanks for your reply, I wasn't aware of these pages.

Yep, so...
Switch to the highest ranking Australian mirror, http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/archlinux/, and the community and extra repo dbs error on download. Obviously Australian mirrors don't like me, so fall back to the worldwide mirror, http://mirror.rackspace.com/archlinux/
230+ MB later and I'm all up to date.
Thanks again,
Alistair
