Hi,
I suggest using A Download Redirector and Metalink Generator like
mirror brain(http://mirrorbrain.org/) to reduce work load on main
ArchLinux Server.

Also, we should have few other official mirrors apart from al.org from
which mirrors of rest of the world would sync. essentially spreading
out the work over couple of servers hence increasing the overall
updating speed.

We have to keep in mind that arch is a rolling release distro so
mirror should update more frequently(like once in a day).

Regards,
Gaurish Sharma
