New Tier 2 Mirror - Republic of Korea

• Mirror domain name: mirror.keiminem.com
• Geographical location of the mirror: Gumi-Si, Republic of Korea
• URLs for supported access methods: https://mirror.keiminem.com/archlinux, Rsync://mirror.keiminem.com/archlinux
• Mirror's available bandwidth: 2Gbps
• An administrative contact e-mail: me0kmin27@Keiminem.com
• Upstream Tier1 Mirror: rsync://mirror.funami.tech/arch/

I'm unable to access https://mirror.keiminem.com/archlinux/core/os/x86_64/core.db . Pacman says, "error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.keiminem.com : Connection timed out after 10002 milliseconds". I'm in Indiana, USA.

I also tried to install by custom adding my mirror to a PC in another region and got a 404 response.

I think there is something else I am missing.

I am mirroring other softwares as well and want to add Arch Linux to them.

What am I missing? Is it possible that my Debian-based server is causing problems?

I'm not getting a HTTP error. I'm getting a timeout which is significantly different. It's not possible for me to speculate about what the error might be without much more information. I trust that the mirror is working for other mirrored software?

It works for me from France even though the speeds fluctuates from 200Kb to 30Mb I suppose it is due to the fact that I'm far from the mirror but it works without any issues.

I tried again after that hopeful message from Baptiste. My config file:

Server = https://mirror.keiminem.com/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

and pacman -Syu output:

$ sudo pacman -Syu

 core.db failed to download
 extra.db failed to download

@smayzy Did you use http or https?

https

I tested https://mirror.keiminem.com/archlinux/ and it seemed to work fine. I test by using arch chroot and doing a full install and got no 404s. Can someone test again that is getting a 404?

Same testing steps as before:

1. /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist has Server = https://mirror.keiminem.com/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
2. sudo pacman -Syu says

lmat@ryle~/.irssi/logs$ sudo pacman -Syu :: Synchronizing package databases... core.db failed to download extra.db failed to download multilib.db failed to download error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.keiminem.com : Connection timed out after 10003 milliseconds error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db' from mirror.keiminem.com : Connection timed out after 10003 milliseconds error: failed retrieving file 'multilib.db' from mirror.keiminem.com : Connection timed out after 10003 milliseconds warning: too many errors from mirror.keiminem.com, skipping for the remainder of this transaction error: failed to synchronize all databases (download library error) lmat@ryle~/.irssi/logs$ ```

using dig, I see two IP addresses for mirror.keiminem.com: 121.159.44.64 and 221.142.142.68.

@pitastrudl I have been testing continuously. I have confirmed with other mirror operators that my mirror is currently working normally, and I have also confirmed with yurumirror, a Tier 1 mirror in Korea, that it is working normally. I have also tested it directly on a PC in another region and it is working normally.

@lmat However, I think that the reason why certain users are not connecting is because my firewall is blocking certain IP ranges. It seems like the problem is caused by a range of IPs being blocked by malicious bots. If necessary, could you please tell me the IP? Then I will take action.

It is normal for the mirror domain to have two IPs, and it is load balancing with two ISPs.
