[pacman-dev] pacman mirrors
I don't know what to do, but I know with the last pacman update with a seperated mirror list, my download speed went down to 40-80 k/sec. Before it was around 1700-2000 k/sec, using cable with 30 Mbits. I try to find the fastest server, but can't. Is it possible that pacman can use "geo_ip", that automatically find the nearest and fastest server. This works perfect with my openSUSE box. Now it looks like, after running pacman -Syu I spend a day to get all updates. I was set up mirror after mirror from this list http://users.archlinux.de/~gerbra/mirrorcheck.html the fastest I get now are 200 k/sec. with a Server out of date. ~ 10 hours out of date. Where is the fast california server gone?
