pacman-mirrors

Pacman-mirrors is a command-line tool used in Arch Linux and its derivatives to update and manage the mirrorlist. It helps in choosing the fastest and most up-to-date mirror servers for package downloads. By default, the mirrorlist is located at /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. Pacman-mirrors generates a new mirrorlist by ranking the mirrors based on their response time and availability. Users can manually edit the mirrorlist to prioritize specific mirrors or exclude some from the list. The tool also offers features like updating the mirrorlist, enabling or disabling mirrors, and providing options to generate country-specific or continent-specific mirrorlists. Overall, pacman-mirrors simplifies the process of finding and configuring the best package mirrors for efficient package management on Arch Linux systems.
