[SOLVED] Slow download speed arch mirrors, just few kb/second

 Morning everybody  :) . I'm getting painful downloads speed  from arch mirrors, extra and community at best 111kb/second. Is it just me or you guys facing similar problems? At first i thought it's about artix mirrors working slow but that seems to not be the case. I remember downloads were pretty decent previously. Anyone has some news on this? I know that main arch mirror is "mirror.f4st.host" and previously worked just fine. What's the problem  ???

No, you are not alone.  Artix mirrors are lightning fast, as usual, but Arch's [community] is slower than a snail.  I get 77-100 KiB/s with it.

Edit:  Arch [community] is dropped down to 30 KiB/s now.  community/vivaldi download (88.31 MiB) takes an eternity.

Ok tnx so it's not about just me. Commented out first mirror from "etc/pacman.d/arch-mirrors" and now i'm using a fast one from Germany "mirror.selfnet.de" and works pretty fast 4-5mb/second

Thanks a lot!  With suggested mirror.selfnet.de I'm at 8 MiB/s.  It saves my life, need to upgrade a bunch of Artix systems here.  Thanks again.
