Another good question is the amount of bandwidth currently used for rock downloads. I'd guess fairly low meaning it wouldn't be too expensive to host on on something like Amazon Cloudfront. That said, lots of people have VPSes with spare space and bandwidth and it could be relatively easy to set up mirrors. Furthermore, the main luarocks site seems plenty fast so I suppose a mirror would be most important for failover rather than speed. Security is a concern though (and of course already is, even with the single luarocks mirror). I don't believe there's currently any sort of signing of the luarocks archive is there?
