rankmirrors

Rank a list of Pacman mirrors by connection and opening speed. Writes the new mirrorlist to stdout. More information: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/mirrors.
  • 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}}
