Very slow download speed with pacman and aur

@flyingcakes

Same doubt. Is this some network restriction? AUR package sources don’t depend on your mirrorlist.

I am not sure, can you think of any network restrictions which might be causing it? That would really help me check for the exact issue.

A usual test for download speeds (disconnected from random speed-test providers) is to test downloading (temporarily, delete after) a Linux distro ISO from different servers, for example an archlinux ISO from random worldwide servers . Use wget or uGet (GUI) to have a cleaner outcome.

Did you try this ?

Yes I did, the speed is stuck somewhere around 175-200 KB/s using wget, @petsam Sorry I had forgotten to respond the results. Does this help with the debug process?

@flyingcakes

Here are top servers from my mirror list : https://termbin.com/vqak

Replace your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file with the contents on the link; and then try updating or downloading something. Since both of us are in India, I suppose my mirrorlist should work for you.

This offficially the fastest my pacman has ever been appx: 6-7 Mbps. Thank you

I think I have heard people from India complaining about the same thing, so maybe it has to do with internet provider or country standards/complications(?).

Sometimes my service provider block Endeavour OS forum too

this has happened to me too. my ISP had blocked the ubuntu PPA website. and it took 15 days of my constant nagging to fix.

If I could get the probable network issues that could really help me solve this issue, TBH I don’t trust the engineers my ISP sends to debug issues, based on the past experiences, any tips would be super helpful
