ANSWERED AUR speeds really slow

[bspkrs 0]

Hi,
I'm using the Suite 1.3.0 on Arch but the pacman mirrors are really slow. Has anyone been in this situation?
Note: I have refreshed my mirrors. Without the VPN, I'm at 45 MiB/s

Try different servers and ports.

Alright it was the UK servers, I tried a bunch of them then tried Switzerland and it worked great?! And it wasn't pacman only.

Can you post your mirrorlist config, please?

$ grep -i with /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

.

Sure:

Server = https://arch.yourlabs.org/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mirrors.gethosted.online/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mirrors.celianvdb.fr/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mirrors.eric.ovh/arch/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://mirrors.melbourne.co.uk/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

Try expanding this to 10-15 servers in various countries you connect to. Something like this:

# reflector --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist --score 15 --country uk,fr,de,(whatever else),…

.

Still peaking at 400KiB/s

What about Switzerland, does it peak at 400, too?

Ended up fixing it partially by changing server when speeds are really slow. Never matched speeds like the ones I get when not connected but it's acceptable. Switzerland peaks at 7 MiB/s.

Huh. Can't say I ever had this problem. For reference, My mirrorlist is 10 best scored from Germany, and when connected to Kitalpha in CH I usually end up with 30, 40 Mbit on average. Since I upgrade daily, though, I don't get to max out anything before it's already done.
