When I pacman-Syu, it fluctuates between 200kb to 500kb

I checked my internet speed at fast.com and it says 490Mbps

Something isn’t right.

Reflector is doing its job. I checked /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and saw the last updated time is very recent (today).

    That’s a valid answer. But isn’t it the whole purpose of using reflector in the first place?

      I don’t use reflector, I just pick a couple of local .edu mirrors that proved themselves fast in past and that’s all I use. I only change if the mirror is performing poorly.

        I see. I will try. Maybe the ones reflector chose was fast atm but not now. Thanks

          Reflector isn’t that smart of a tool. That’s exactly what happened and why I stopped using it.

            I just did and manually picked some near ones. It’s at 50mb/s and I really feel stupid now.

            Thanks. really.

      Yes, but reflector can’t do magic. Just manually go through the mirrors and try if they’re fast enough. You should prefer geographically closer mirrors.
