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!

Use reflector. Sometimes it happens
# reflector --latest 20 --fastest 5 --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlistThis one + pacman -Syy helped me! Thank you a lot!
Which countries are you including? I usually pick some neighbouring ones too
try doing pacman -Syy
it works for me, I have to do it every few months 🤷
Maybe your BitTorrent software eats all the bandwidth so other networking programs shows bad performance?
Have you tried pacman without running your BitTorrent software?
Nah, I was only testing speed with torrents, right now pretty much everything is disabled
I doubt it’s only pacman. Try downloading something with wget for example. It should also be slow then.
