"Distributed" pacman?

Can I make pacman use several sources at the same time?
Say I want to install Xorg. This comprises of many packages. Can I make pacman use several sources to get the packages? None of the current sources maxes my connection when I try them. So getting from several sources at the same time would be a nice feature. Especially when installing Arch. (Which is the stage I'm currently at )

Use a different mirror- I could pull at 6MB/sec from some of them.
