This design if implemented properly could possibly upgrade all

mirrors and make them operate a lot more efficiently. It would also
make it real easy to deploy your own mini-mirror to serve your own
local network. For example, at home I personally would use
InstantMirror with maybe 30GB of cache allocated, but pre-fetching
turned off.
InstantMirror looks like a brilliant idea. If some people can't wait for
it to finish, there is also pkg-cacher. It has a much smaller scope, but
it is very useful if you have a bunch of machines and you don't want to
fetch the same package dozens of times.
