When I pacman-Syu, it fluctuates between 200kb to 500kb

I checked my internet speed at fast.com and it says 490Mbps

Something isn’t right.

Reflector is doing its job. I checked /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and saw the last updated time is very recent (today).

That’s a valid answer. But isn’t it the whole purpose of using reflector in the first place?

Yes, but reflector can’t do magic. Just manually go through the mirrors and try if they’re fast enough. You should prefer geographically closer mirrors.

I don’t use reflector, I just pick a couple of local .edu mirrors that proved themselves fast in past and that’s all I use. I only change if the mirror is performing poorly.

I see. I will try. Maybe the ones reflector chose was fast atm but not now. Thanks

Reflector isn’t that smart of a tool. That’s exactly what happened and why I stopped using it.
