Our mirror is now HTTPS enabled, same path as HTTP ie. 
https://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/archlinux/

We do however recommend using HTTP and signatures rather than relying 
on HTTPS for file integrity.

While the CPU load of HTTPS on clients is negligable, the server CPU 
load becomes quite a task for organizations like ACC that are running 
on 5+ years old donated hardware. Especially when combined with the 
goal of being able to push multiple tens of gigabits...
