rankmirrors

Rank a list of Pacman mirrors by connection and opening speed. Writes the new mirrorlist to stdout. More information: https://manned.org/rankmirrors.

• Rank a mirror list:

rankmirrors /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

• Output only a given number of the top ranking servers:

rankmirrors -n number /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

• Be verbose when generating the mirrorlist:

rankmirrors -v /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

• Test only a specific URL:

rankmirrors --url url

• Output only the response times instead of a full mirrorlist:

rankmirrors --times /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
