====A word of caution===
Don't limit yourself too much. Pacman-mirrors will only use up-to-date mirrors in the final mirrorlist.
===Customizing===
The ''--interactive'' approach which uses your current active mirror pool (could be a personal pool)
  $ sudo pacman-mirrors -i && sudo pacman -Syy
  $ sudo pacman-mirrors -i && 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 list will be saved to the system and used each time you run pacman-mirrors.
The ''--interactive'' and ''--default'' approach
$ sudo pacman-mirrors -id && sudo pacman -Syy
 
The ''--country'' approach
$ sudo pacman-mirrors -cGermany,France,Austria && sudo pacman -Syy
