hi Per,

very cool!

we are working on something similar for Google Summer of Code:

Use Metalink to discover requests for the same files from different
mirrors and redirect clients to mirrors that are already cached
( http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2012/nottheoilrig/13001
)

as you can see, we're using Metalink (XML & HTTP) as the mirror list,
so it doesn't have to be customized as much to one project but will
work for any that uses Metalink.

perhaps if the ATS version is done early, we can collaborate with you?

I understand why you don't want segmented downloading but most
Metalink clients allow that to be turned off.
also, wget & curl will support Metalink in the next few months.
