Since we have switched to Git and have this spkg/upsteam directory, it is
also indexed it like the other mirrored files. This means, there is a
metalink and and torrent file (webseeds only!) for each file. We could use
`aria2c` as a nice command-line utility to download the file from all the
mirrors with included verification.
E.g.
`/spkg/upstream/ipython/ipython-0.13.2.tar.bz2`
has corresponding files:
`/spkg/upstream/ipython/meta/ipython-0.13.2.tar.bz2.metalink|.torrent`
The logic should be like this:
if aria2c exists:
if corresponding metalink file exists:
aria2c ...
else:
continue with curl, wget, ...
The only complication is, that it doesn't download to stdout. That must be
wrapped somehow with a temporary file.
