reflector-cacheserver is a patched version of Reflector, a command-line utility that retrieves current Arch Linux mirror information from the Mirror Status service and generates Pacman mirrorlists.
It can filter mirrors by factors including country, age, protocol, synchronisation delay, completion percentage and IP version. Results can be sorted by criteria such as download rate, age, country, score or delay.
The patched build adds support for the cache server functionality introduced with Pacman 6.1.
This is free and open source software.
