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!

    I doubt it’s only pacman. Try downloading something with wget for example. It should also be slow then.

      It absolutely can be only pacman, if the mirrors chosen are on the other side of the planet.
