I asked the question of Atlas release pacman mirror at the Tier 2/BNL meeting. The respond is that pacman mirror provides higher availability and is also faster for local users. Nothing else was mentioned.

- Pacman mirror at SLAC?
Could possibly do this. Need to worry a little about it become a
too big a load on the services. Need to find out how much load
this puts on other sites. Not certain why ATLAS needs so many
mirrors as OSG uses one web server for everything. Using FTP as a
file transfer mechanism would be more efficient but don't believe
that pacman supports that. Will decide after feedback from the
Tier-2/BNL meeting this morning.
