Reflector choosing the worst possible mirrors (vlemmy.net)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I used to pick out mirrors manually and had servers very close to me, but I recently started using reflector to automate the process, but the mirrors it chooses is absolute dogshit and gives me really slow speeds.

What am I doing wrong?

Been a while since I mucked with reflector, but you don't seem to be prioritizing faster mirrors whatsoever. Try --sort rate instead. If that's not fast enough I'd also increase your --latest up to maybe 15 so that you have higher odds of a fast mirror being in the group of just-updated mirrors.
