+1's do not help unless somebody actually goes and implements it, and everyone is busy with the actual release.

There is a well-established solution for this, called MirrorBrain [1]. It's works on HTTP-basis, using HTTP-Mirrors, and can optionally feed a Torrent tracker. It's used to distribute packages for high-volume projects such as openSUSE, LibreOffice and KDE, it should be able to handle ownCloud easily. However, MirrorBrain does not come without administrative (e.g. finding and maintaining appropriate mirrors) overhead (I've set up a mirror brain instance myself before), so let's first see if using a stronger server helps, and resort to something like MirrorBrain if it doesn't.
