err.. what? Don't you think, that mirrorsync in crontab is MUCH more easier way to get new packages, huh? I'm using local mirror for 3 years and i have no idea why i shoulnd't use it know.
With commercial bandwidth limited to 1M down, I worry about the extra 3-4G of download. That is 9 hours of the connection pegged at 135K that I don't need to use. Yes mirrorsync is easier, but it also increases the load on the Arch mirrors when multiplied by 100's/1000's of people using it. My approach downloads only the needed packages. A bit more work - yes, but it helps the community be reducing demand on resources :)
