Keep in mind this will still catch a line that only has spaces in it. I
would suggest using the pattern '^[ ]*(#|$)' instead to avoid this.

Even better! Well played.

Please at least at me to CC next time or open a bug report. Otherwise
there is a chance I just miss those patches.

However, this mirror detections wasn't that great anyway. I am now
using pacman to get the used mirror:
http://projects.archlinux.org/devtools.git/commit/?id=db7a90ccd280a84bdbdef078ed766aa321ed317a

This should always work even if you specify your mirrors directly in
pacman.conf or include a mirrorlist with a different name.
