It is very helpful to the list readers if you can give more concrete
descriptions of what you did and what happened.  The best way to do that
is to copy/paste the commands you entered and the output you got, and
then tell us why it wasn't what you expected.  There are several steps
that could possibly be construed as "creating a mirror" and it's not
clear (to me) what you mean by "wants to change my definition of the
original archive."

It's fine, but you'll get better answers (or answers at all) if you show
us w/ copy/paste the exact steps you took and what happened.  You
attempted to set the name of archive how?
