Sous Archlinux, pour créer un fichier mirroirs (/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist) à jour et trié par vitesse de download, il suffit d’utiliser la commande reflector (à installer avec pacman -S reflector).
reflector -l 35 -p https --threads 5 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Le paramètre le plus important est --sort :
--sort {age,rate,country,score,delay}
Sort the mirrorlist. "age": last server
synchronization; "rate": download rate; "country":
server's location; "score": MirrorStatus score;
"delay": MirrorStatus delay.
Exemple de fichier /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist à jour :
