You should mail a request to archive-wg@itd.adelaide.edu.au, but in this
case events have overtaken you somewhat.

The AARNet Archive Working Group has looked at several options for
providing an on-going archive of Amiga software on Archie.AU. We
have spoken with three keen Amiga users that are prepared to not only
commit some time and effort into providing an Australian archive,
but are also providing a very large disk to attach to Archie.AU.

This will not be a mirror of physik. There are a number of problems
associated with physik, including the presence of commercial software
on the system, the attitude of the maintainer there, and its location
relative to us (ie. via many other networks). What is being planned
for Archie.AU is a very large archive that supports local and
international uploads, and actively mirrors useful archives elsewhere.

For an example of what is to come, much of the reorganisation of
the wuarchive has been done by one of the Amiga types working on
the disk add on to Archie.AU.

More details when they come to hand ...
