Don't know if there's an archmirror script available, but I use an rsync
script that runs once every two hours to synchronize my FTP with
archlinux.org's FTP.
Such a script could be used on your laptop at the university, when you
get home, just mount the laptop via NFS and use file:///mnt/arch as
repository and it installs from your local mirror without problems like
it would do with regular FTP.
