rate-mirrors – client-side map-aware mirror ranking tool

rate-mirrors is a tool, which tests mirror speed for:

  • Arch Linux
    • including Chaotic-AUR
    • including Arch Linux CN
  • Arch Linux ARM
  • ArcoLinux
  • Artix Linux
  • BlackArch Linux
  • CachyOS
  • EndeavourOS
  • Manjaro
  • OpenBSD
  • RebornOS
  • any http/https mirrors via stdin.

rate-mirrors uses info about submarine cables and internet exchanges (kudos to TeleGeography for data) to jump between countries and find fast mirrors. And it’s fast enough to run it before each system update (~30 seconds with default options).

This is free software.
