Details

Metalinks are great for a number of reasons:

- concurrent downloads from a few mirrors
- checksums (even in chunks)
- computer-readable format (for 3rd party apps that need a list of Arch mirrors)

These distros already serve them: Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE

Example metalink: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.2/iso/openSUSE-13.2-NET-x86_64.iso.meta4
This task depends upon
