The first listed mirror for Australia hasn't been updated since august

I've had Arch for about a month and was wondering why my system never seeemed to upgrade anything. Now I know:D

ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/archlinux/ is listed in the official mirror list in both the wiki, and in /etc/pacman.d/mirrors that is installed with any new arch linux install, which is worrying indeed.

I have switched to ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/archlinux/ which is very up to date.

Does anyone know whose attention I should bring this to to get it fixed? May have turned a lot of noob Austrlian and NZ users off Arch already.

The best way to resolve issues like this is through the bug tracker. If you look right under the user name box in the bug tracker, there's a drop down list. Select pacman then press the switch button. Unfortunately, your Arch login won't work there, so you'll need to create an account.

You could contact the mirrors admins directly also - I have done that on occasion with my local mirror (heanet).
