try on your machine

The pacman-mirrors --status command is used in Arch-based Linux distributions to display the current status of the mirror list used by the package manager, Pacman.

When this command is executed, it retrieves information about the mirror servers available to the system and their respective statuses. The mirror list contains a collection of server URLs from which the package manager downloads software packages and updates.

The output of the pacman-mirrors --status command typically includes information regarding the status of each mirror server, such as its URL, geographic location, the connection speed, the last synchronization time (when it was last updated), and its ranking (a measure of its reliability and availability).

This command is often used by system administrators and Linux users to check the status of mirror servers to ensure that Pacman is using the most up-to-date and reliable sources for package downloads and updates. By regularly checking the mirror status, users can optimize the speed and reliability of their package manager operations.
