[arm-allstar] Download failures for system updates

[Doug Kingston]

I have been having trouble getting the system update to complete.  I
checked the logs and found the pacman command that was being run and it is
failing repeatedly and different point in the download with the following
error indicating that the download speed was insufficient.  I have a good
connection and get much faster downloads from other sites I tested
against.  Its as if hamvoip.org distribution server is throttling us or is
just overloaded.

Is this something that can be addressed on the server end?  I did not see
any pacman options to make it more tolerant of slow downloads.
