Hey, We see people trying to make an Arch repo mirror to save themselves bandwidth. I think that doesn't really make too much sense. Instead, it seems much better to implement a download proxy. The way this works is that all traffic is routed through a computer which backs up stuff that passes through it. When a computer on the network asks for a file that's been downloaded previously, there is no need to go into the Internet. That seems like a great thing to use for Arch packages, as well as a lot of stuff really. Think about how much faster some websites and stuff can load if you already have all the common images downloaded to your LAN. Here's a link. http://www.squid-cache.org/ -AT (Man.. I really want to set up a Linux router box...)
