Can you post a copy of the output? I'm using reflector and rankmirrors, and I get this: # 2010-08-12 15:33 # generated by reflector # ranked by rankmirrors Server = ftp://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Server = ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://mirror.yandex.ru/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/linux/distributions/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch These are obviously not reachable URLs, but pacman fills in $repo and $arch from pacman.conf so it's working just fine for me.

Dear Archers,
is it true that rankmirrors can't handle mirrorlist urls like ftp://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch?
While pacman works fine with this format, rankmirrors produces unreachable URLs.
Or am I misunderstanding something here?
Rock on, Mathias
