/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
  • Fetch and add each and every mirror to the list:
sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack && sudo pacman -Syyu
  • Limit the number of mirrors being fetched, add a number after —fasttrack:
sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 10 && sudo pacman -Syyu
  • By country:
sudo pacman-mirrors --country South_Africa && sudo pacman -Syyu

Interactive

sudo pacman-mirrors --interactive && sudo pacman -Syyu
