I'd learn to walk before you try to run. Read everything you can about how a
package management distro with rolling releases works. I don't want to come
off as a jerk, but honestly I think you've gotten in a bit over your head if
you 1) can't find 60+G's mirrored all over the world, 2) point /something/ at
that data mass, and 3) maintain that system. Rather than shotgun blasting this
list every 45 minutes after you've partially read into something. There is no
magic the developers use to keep up-to-date systems, they have to use the
mirrors same as everyone else from which they build and test.
