Clemens, what's the link between the text you're quoting and your answer?
Why yes! instead of "reflector", pacman's own "rankmirrors" script provides a speed ranking of mirrors _as seen from the ocal site_ instead of the archlinux json interface, which runs server-side and seems to favour japanese and american mirrors.
Mirror status provided by ArchLinux may be filtered by country. They have freshness status included thus making them more useful (if the fastest mirror has not been updated for a week it is not the best mirror to choose). -- Cédric Girard
