| So, ''pacman-mirrors -f 2'' takes the same time to create /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist as ''pacman-mirrors -f 20''?
| |
|
| |
| '''No'''. ''pacman-mirrors -f 2'' will approx. be '''10x''' faster than ''pacman-mirrors -f 20'' since only 2 mirrors are probed versus 20 mirrors.
| |
|
| |
| So, ''pacman-mirrors -f [n]'' always ranks '''ALL''' mirrors by response time (the same as ''-g'' does) and additionally takes up-to-date mirrors and writes only '''n''' mirrors to the mirrorlist?
| |
|
| |
| '''No'''. ''pacman-mirrors -f [n]'' ranks on a sorted list with known up-to-date mirrors. Thus it is only the first '''n''' mirrors from this list which are actually probed. If you have a list of 30 mirrors which are up-to-date and use ''-f 5'' only the ''top 5 mirrors'' are probed and then sorted after response time.
