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}}
