I always use the web interface to get packages from ARM. No wrapper. The
unique CLI tool I used was pacman to rollback a whole system.

The ARM server latency is pretty good where pkgbuild.com is a nightmare.

$ time wget -qO/dev/null https://seblu.net/a/arm/2014
wget -qO/dev/null https://seblu.net/a/arm/2014  0,02s user 0,00s system

$ time wget -qO/dev/null

I'm not speaking of beauty, but speed and latency of answers.

I did not wish hurt you in any manner. Your aur-mirror.git is a good
initiative. Please don't take it personally.

Sorry if that was not clear in my first mail.
