and I noticed usage for package management being mentioned here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalink#In_use "Metalink is also being tested with Arch Linux's Pacman which is used for package management."
Not sure about that.
pacman does not support metalink. the only way is to use a custom XferCommand or a pacman wrapper like powerpill : http://xyne.archlinux.ca/info/powerpill And for ISO, as far as I can see, there is no official support either. No metalink here : http://www.archlinux.org/download/ And the only metalink files on ftp are for the archboot iso which are not official. But Xyne provides metalink for iso too : http://xyne.archlinux.ca/arch
