@conky60 asked me to make this script available for him, so I've put it here as it may benefit someone else too:
#!/bin/bash
##
## 19-10-2017 - handy.
## This is a new version of the allserver script that I initially
## started building in late ~2012 for Manjaro. This version is for
## Arch & Artix based distros.
## The great Manjaro specific "pacman-mirrors -g" command has been
## replaced by some relatively messy script to do the same-ish job,
## in a more clumsy fashion (pacman-mirrors -g is pretty cool).
##
## If your mirrorlists become owned by root, they won't be able to
## be operated on by this script, so check that.
##
## In the /etc/pacman.d/ I use two custom mirrorlists called
## mirrorlist-arch-original & mirrorlist-artix-original each have
## ~ half a dozen or so of the generally fastest mirrors in each
## list (your choice really), which, if/when you choose, will be
## ranked into /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch & /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
## So you need to backup your original mirrorlists & then create the
## two "-original" files named exactly as I called them at the start
## of this paragraph. The other two will be created by the
## rankmirrors command. This is the hardest part of the whole process.
## Once you have your mirrors initially set up, allservers is as easy
## as it ever was. ;)
##
## Run this script from your user $ account as it uses sudo where
## required. I use a ~/.bashrc alias to call it, like so:
## alias as="~/allservers2"
## Then all you have to do is type in the 2 letters "as" without
## the quotes, to run the script. :)
## It is easiest to put the script in /usr/bin or in ~/
## & be sure that it has been made executable, like so:
## [handy@notebang ~]$ chmod -v +x ~/allservers2

Just put copy the script into your text editor, name it allservers (or anything you want for that matter) place it in your ~/ or in your /usr/bin , set the executable bit & call it from a bash terminal, or at least a bash compatible terminal. I use the "as" alias that is mentioned in the commented out notes at the start of the script.
Have fun.
