Mirror way out of date???

Hi,
With the ongoing issue of throttling server bandwidth I used the rankmirrors utility on my community, extra and current server lists. The server at;

Server = http://www2.cddc.vt.edu/linux/distribut … ty/os/i686

came out to be fastest. When I moved it to the top of all three lists I did a pacman -Suy and got this;

warning: abiword: local (2.4.6-1) is newer than current (2.4.3-1)
warning: acl: local (2.2.39-1) is newer than current (2.2.34-1)

warning: bc: local (1.06-3) is newer than current (1.06-2)
warning: bftpd: local (1.5-1) is newer than current (1.2-2)

Actually I got a LOT more. Is this mirror not being updated?? This entry in particular implies a lot of missed updates;

warning: wpa_supplicant: local (0.5.7-2) is newer than current (0.4.8-2)

Or am I missing something??

That server hasn't synced for almost a year and isn't listed any longer anywhere as official mirror, so delete it from your lists and pick another one.
