Arch Linux package manager Pacman keeps it's mirror list in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
file. To change Pacman mirrors, you must modify this file. You can generate a mirrorlist
file for specific geographical location using the official Arch Linux website. Go to
www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist and
select your country along with the fields selected in the screenshot below.
This would get to a plain text web-page, that would contain the mirrorlist file.
Copy the content into a file and remove the # before Server named mirrorlist.txt and
run the following commands.
The file mirrorlist.txt has been copied to /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and needs to be
updated. Run following command to update pacman.
After this you may see an increase in the speed of pacman mirrors. If this does not work then get back to your previous mirrors.
