 Don't limit yourself too much. Pacman-mirrors will only use up-to-date mirrors in the final mirrorlist.
-===The customizing===
+===Customizing the pool===
-The ''--interactive'' approach which uses your current active mirror pool (could be a personal pool)
+'''First option'' is using ''--interactive''. It uses your current mirror pool(wether default or custom)
   $ sudo pacman-mirrors -i && sudo pacman -Syy
-The ''--interactive'' and ''--default'' approach
+'''Second option'' is using ''--interactive --default''. This force the use of the official mirror pool
   $ sudo pacman-mirrors -id && sudo pacman -Syy
-The ''--country'' approach
+'''Third option''' is supplying a list of countries with ''--country''
   $ sudo pacman-mirrors -cGermany,France,Austria && sudo pacman -Syy
-Pacman-mirrors will process the available mirrors and present you with a list in which you will select your desired mirrors. The resulting mirror pool will be used every time you run pacman-mirrors.
+With option 1 and 2 pacman-mirrors will process the available mirrors and present you with a list in which you will select your desired mirrors. The resulting mirror pool will be saved to <code>/var/lib/pacman-mirrors/custom-mirrors.json</code> and used every time you run pacman-mirrors.
-When you want to reset the list to default run
+Option 3 creates a reliable up-to-date mirrorlist from the mirrors available in the pool.
+===Resetting custom pool===
+'''First option''' to reset is to default mirror pool
   $ sudo pacman-mirrors -call && sudo pacman -Syy
-Another way of resetting the custom mirror file is to use --default with --interactive
+'''Second option''' to is to use ''--default'' with ''--interactive''
   $ sudo pacman-mirrors -id && sudo pacman -Syy
 * You will be presented with a list with all and every mirror and you can pick your selection.
-A third way is to supply a list of countries
+'''Third option''' is to supply a list of countries
    $ sudo pacman-mirrors -cGermany,France,Austria
 * If you supply the same preferred countries on every reset you will get your mirror pool updated with added or removed mirrors.
