Well, I'm guessing you don't to use the -M flag. -M means 
"--mirror-from". Probably something more like "--source" or something 
like that would be fine.

Also, I tried to get to your web-page, but I got a Request Not Found error.

Eventually I figured out that you need a ~ before your username.
http://www.progsoc.uts.edu.au/~wildfire/arch/arch/

Also, tradition says to use your archive name as part of the url, so it 
makes it more obvious. That would change your archive to
http://www.progsoc.uts.edu.au/~wildfire/arch/address@hidden/

I'll try to look at it, though.

But if you are contributing, you should double check your url's. :)
