Metalinks

To your right you should find a list of metalinks for the latest official Arch Linux ISO and IMG releases. They can be updated automatically using this link, which will retrieve the corresponding checksum files and the latest official mirrorlist. The metalinks should correspond to the torrents on the official download page.

Metalinks make it possible to download the same file from multiple servers simultaneously to significantly increase the maximum overall download speed. They are provided here as a fast alternative to the official torrents for users who do not wish or are unable to run a torrent client.

I highly recommend aria2 as a download client for metalinks and general usage. It is widely available and packaged for many distros. Firefox users should be able to access these directly with DownThemAll or FlashGot. The Wikipedia metalink article contains other suggestions.
