Another solution is to have all computers using only one pacman cache located on a single computer via nfs. So once a computer has downloaded a packages, all the other ones can grab it directly from the local network.
I might be wrong but I think pacman is downloading the packages directly to the cache directory. This might cause problem if the download starts on one host and is started on another host before the download is done. pacman will then report the package as corrupted but doesn't try to redownload it automatically. It won't do any harm but it can get anoying if you have a large number of systems. Sébastien
