Hello everyone!
I’m experiencing troubles when installing and updating dependencies via pacman, download speed is waaay too low like 30-40 kb/s. I’ve tried reflector and rank-mirors, I even moved mirrors from another machine where everything works well but nothing helped.
As far as I can tell it’s not a slow internet connection problem, because when I download torrents the speed is good (up to 7 megabytes per second).
How can I troubleshoot this?
Thanks!
Show us your reflector conf and your mirrorlist.
Furthermore, check your mirror’s status here
They seem to be synced

Latest synchronized, doesn’t mean they are close to you.
