I believe download.e.o/oomph/archive contains a collection of files related to mirroring and searching. The number of files is very high (1.75M), and generally small in nature (html files) not suitable for mirroring. Let's reduce disk I/O by adding that path to the mirror exclusion list.

It is already excluded which is why you don't see it here in the generated index:

https://download.eclipse.org/oomph/archive/eclipse/oomph/index.html

Nor will you find it on an actual mirror, e.g.,

http://eclipse.mirror.rafal.ca/oomph/

This is why I put such things an "archive/" folder because that's documented to be excluded:

https://wiki.eclipse.org/IT_Infrastructure_Doc#Use_mirror_sites.2Fsee_which_mirrors_are_mirroring_my_files.3F

And that appears already to be working...

Works for me, sorry for the noise. And thanks for reading the docs!
