Guys,

 Where do I find a list of ABS download mirrors?

 I was working with ffmpeg and the download from ftp.archlinux.org was painfully slow due to the throttled connection. Is there somewhere mirrors for ABS sources are listed? Usually it doesn't matter because most sources are relatively small, but with packages like ffmpeg (50 meg), the throttling difference can be extreme. Thanks.

I think you're mixing things up, ABS doesn't hold sources, they are defined in the PKGBUILDS, they are just urls.

You can check out at the same commit that the tarball is from the git tree, or just grab the latest git version. It is fairly "safe" as there isn't often any breakage in the ffmpeg tree.
