I would like to make a private mirror of current, extra and, possibly, community repositories. And if I get authorization, it may be eventually public at work off-peak times in Brazil (GMT-3) from 6PM to 7AM (nightly).
Cheers.

I also asked a public canadian mirror to add Arch Linux to their list.
They would need the space required and also from which rsync server they can take the "master" copy.
Could you provide me with those informations please?

Interesting, I was just going to inquire to my own ISP here in Wisconsin about creatin a mirror. They have a mirror system setup already, http://mirrors.tds.net
I was looking for information for adding/creating a new mirror and didn't find any in the wiki. So yea, add me to the list of people looking for this information!

4th'd. We have a mirror server for our ISP customers that I'd like to add an Arch repository to.

Hmm, I'd searched for "mirror" in the wiki in the past, and didn't find anything about setting up a mirror. Searching for 'rsync' has turned up this, which may be the instructions on how to set up a mirror (I'm guessing the only difference between a private and public mirror is whether people outside your organisation are allowed to use it)

Thanks for your answer markzzzsmith!
If that can help someone, here's the size of each rsync modules:
rsync.archlinux.org::current
534 MB for i686
509 MB for x64
ALL: 1.043 GB
rsync.archlinux.org::extra
3.45 GB for i686
3.37 GB for x64
ALL: 6.82 GB
rsync.archlinux.org::community
2.07 GB for i686
1.08 GB for x64
ALL: 3.15 GB

Don't. Use a different method, like some of those suggested on the wiki.

iphitus,
This will do me NO good..... My private mirror serves over 50+ computers....probably closer to 100 that are worldwide/not just local networks.... the above link you posted won't do me much good... so, if we can't rsync to archlinux.org, where is the next best place ?
EDIT: Answered my own question here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 74#p239274
Apparently only 2 mirrors i can find so far that allow rsyncing...... for un-official mirrors like my own.
