rank mirror script kidhar miltha hai aur kaise use karthe hai ?

 

[Faun]

may be you could try creating one for yourself.
the mirrorlist file is in /etc/pacman.d

make a shell script and calculate the cumulative ping for each server for certain no of iterations and then check the server with most least cumulative pings.

lol...thats just a thought but might work, i will try to create one shell script if i find time tomorrow

how ? how ? how ?
I rather suck at shell scripting...
Once, for a similar level task, I ended up using the basic knowledge I have, to pipe info to a text file which I stuffed into a C++ program to get the job done
But I don't know how to do it for online stuff...

 

[Faun]

me so sleepy now.
will try to make one tmrw,
few steps will be,
grep Server /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
then some regular expression to get the actual domain name from server lists
then just a ping part

grep Server /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist | cut -d'/' -f3 do  
do
ping servername | awk -F'=' '{ printf "%.3d \n", $4 }'
while (no of pings < 5)
 while(server list is not empty)

something like that

!damn

Even official mirrror gives only 8kbps
Most other mirrors give speed in same range

BSNL Sucks... frequent disconnections in modem

Is it because I use OpenDNS ?

@Metalhead : you should call bsnl exchange and ask them for a MDF testing.most common reason is loss of Signal Strength. ask them to add your line to the series where more bb users are subscribed.

Maybe you should read the response in the ArchLinux thread first.
