There are quite a few things I love about Arch Linux. But the Main thing I love is its speed. I’ve never been on a faster Distro. That said I’ve never been on anythign else other than Ubuntu Hardy Heron, Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, Mandriva , Sabayon and Mint.
One of the main things I always had a problem with is getting updates. The highest speed I ever got from Ubuntu Mirrors was like 30-35 Kbps and that too from a mirror from Mongolia. As for the other distributions I had either lower or comparitively same speeds as well. Let me show you the time it took to do a 12 MB update on Arch Linux in the morning in India.
Every single update I make seems to get me good speeds and I’m just loving it.

Am too loving the speed now, arch is a killer at installing apps.
The responsivenes keeps me away from Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Fedora and Mandriva.
Must say its a cool breeze fast OS

Exactly the same reason I am still on Arch and I seriously doubt if I would change :).
