I have updated to the last version of reflector
but it’s not creating a new mirrolist anymore
it’s just stuck
has anyone tried the new version?
Yes, something (IMHO) is not right, it runs, but is slow. Really slow.
$ reflector -c Germany -c Poland -f 15 -p https -a 2

@joekamprad If I try your command it just hangs:
reflector -c Germany -c Poland -f 15 -p https -a 2
33 seconds no output.
sudo reflector --verbose --latest 10 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

43 seconds, slower than previouse version.
Old version - just downgraded:
sudo reflector --verbose --latest 10 --sort rate --save 0.18s user 0.04s system 6% cpu 3.374 total
reflector -c Germany -f 1 -p https -a 2 4,49s user 0,99s system 17% cpu 31,152 total
i see … it is slow indeed…
our reflector-simple tool needs one Minute to get 10 mirrors, but still not that bad… it is not hanging i see traffic running on processing.
Your command actually finishes in 52 seconds I was impatient.
Think I will stick with the September version.
September version - your command takes 2.4 seconds
Reflector dev has very recently changed the way ranking is done. Looks like the reason for being slower now.
See the changelog at https://xyne.archlinux.ca/projects/reflector/
sorry…
it worked now, it takes just a lot more time than the previous version
