This software mirror is provided by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering on a Gigabit uplink, accessible both through IPv4 and IPv6. We are happy to mirror additional software archives upon request, subject to space constraints on our mirror server. If there's a software archive for which a local mirror would be useful to you and it isn't listed here, please let us know.

Edit the file /etc/pacman.conf/ and add the following line in the specified sections, replacing ARCH with i686 or x86_64, according to your architecture:

[core]
Server = ftp://ftp.rnl.ist.utl.pt/pub/archlinux/core/os/ARCH
 
[extra]
Server = ftp://ftp.rnl.ist.utl.pt/pub/archlinux/extra/os/ARCH
 
[community]
Server = ftp://ftp.rnl.ist.utl.pt/pub/archlinux/community/os/ARCH
