I’m trying to update but reflector-simple says that I would change some settings. I tried to select my country’s repo from its .config file, but a message raises saying that there’s no repository. Than, when I try to update with pacman -Syu, it prints to screen there is a SSL certificate problem, so it’s impossibile to reach the [archlinux.mirror.server24.net](http://archlinux.mirror.server24.net) repo. Any solution? ---

Comment out that mirror and try again. Alternatively try program rate-mirrors. If it is not installed, install it if possible. ---

Maybe because I’m not an expert, but I nothing happens. I installed rate-mirrors but trying some commands does not produce any particular result. > [@manuel](#): > > Comment out that mirror… Where I have to do it? I didn’t found anything into the .config file… ---

### Commenting out a mirror in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist Add character # as the character on the line that has the mirror. For example: ```auto Server = http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch ``` to ```auto # Server = http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch ``` ### Example usage of rate-mirrors ```auto rate-mirrors --protocol https arch --max-delay 3600 | sudo tee /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist ``` ---

I agree with @manuel , try `rate-mirrors`. I find it to be the easiest, simplest, and most reliable way to get a really fast mirrorlist. This program is really an example of finely designed piece of software that follows the Unix philosophy: it has a simple and standardised interface, it does one thing and it does it well. And it’s written in Rust, so you get additional hipster points when you use it. 🧔🏽 🦀 ---

> [@manuel](#): > > `# Server = http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch` Done as you said but the problem persist. But… why commenting that line? Isn’t it an exclusion? > [@manuel](#): > > `rate-mirrors --protocol https arch --max-delay 3600 | sudo tee /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist` After comment the mirror, launching the command miss that specific mirror as specified in the first post. ---

There is no need to comment out anything. Run ```auto sudo cp /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.backup ``` Followed by ```auto rate-mirrors arch | sudo tee /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist ``` And finally ```auto sudo pacman -Syyu ``` ---

There is still a problem… reflector-simple doesn’t find any mirror… ---

Is there a reason why you must use `reflector-simple`? It’s simply terrible, no pun intended. `rate-mirrors` does everything for you. Just do the three steps in my reply above every time you have a problem with mirrors and forget everything else. ---

I don’t use reflect-simple. The fact is when I use the Welcome app for upgrading arch mirrors it does anything alone. Since few days ago, I was ignoring its existence… ---

This is just my opinion, of course, but in your place, I would continue to ignore the existence of the Welcome app. Personally, I see no use for it. The way I update the mirrors is in the terminal, like I showed you above.
