In order to start with a shortlist of up-to-date mirrors based in some countries and feed it to rankmirrors one can fetch the list from the Pacman Mirrorlist Generator.
Finally, rank the mirrors, here with the operand -n 6 to only output the 6 fastest mirrors: # rankmirrors -n 6 /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.backup > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. 
To uncomment every mirror, run the following sed line: # sed -i 's/^#Server/Server/' /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.backup.If the servers in the file are grouped by country, one can extract all the servers of a specific country by using: $ awk '/^# Country Name$/' /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.backup.
Edit mirrorlist.backup and uncomment the servers to be tested. To prepare mirrorlist.backup for ranking with rankmirrors, the following actions can be carried out: # cp /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.backup The pacman-contrib package provides a Bash script, /usr/bin/rankmirrors, which can be used to rank the mirrors according to their connection and opening speeds to take advantage of using the fastest local mirror.īack up the existing /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist: List by speed Ranking an existing mirror list It is recommended to regularly repeat this process to keep the list of mirrors up-to-date. Instead, make a list of mirrors sorted by their speed, then remove those from the list that are out of sync according to their status. It is not optimal to only rank mirrors based on speed since the fastest servers might be out-of-sync. The order servers appear in the list sets their priority. When downloading packages, pacman uses the mirrors in the order they are listed in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. This is not necessary when using successfully syncing mirrors or checking timestamp of mirror's lastsync file to ensure package lists are up to date. This prevents issues where packages are inconsistently upgraded, leading to a partial update. Warning: In most cases if you force refresh the pacman database, you will want to force downgrade any potentially too-new packages to correspond to the versions offered by the new mirror. See #Sorting mirrors for tools that help choosing mirrors. To enable mirrors, edit /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and locate your geographic region. #BROKEN RANKS SLOW DOWNLOAD GENERATOR#
The Pacman Mirrorlist Generator can also be used to find a list of current IPv6 mirrors. In the meantime, add it to the Unofficial mirrors article.
If you want your mirror to be added to the official list, see DeveloperWiki:NewMirrors. It is recommended to only use mirrors that are up to date, i.e. To get an even more up-to-date list of mirrors, use the Pacman Mirrorlist Generator page.Ĭheck the status of the mirrors by visiting the Mirror Status page. The official Arch Linux mirror list is available from the pacman-mirrorlist package. 3.1.2 Fetching and ranking a live mirror list.2.1 Force pacman to refresh the package lists.
