Arch equivalent to apt-proxy

Hi,

I've been using Debian for some time, and one tool was quite handy when installing a LAN and keeping it up to date: apt-proxy. Since I work most often in remote South France, DSL lines have usually no more than 512 kbps, so every big update means waiting and waiting and waiting. To make things faster, I scp recursively the contents of /var/cache/pacman/pkg to the other machines, but this also means quite some redundancy.

Any even remote plans for pac-proxy?

I don't know how much that covers your needs, but see this and this (that seems unavailable anymore, but it might be worthwhile to resurrect it).
