"... benefit or contribute ...": the thread had to do with slow mirrors. So I mentioned rankmirrors (@ pacman). > Mirror status provided by ArchLinux may be filtered by country.

I didn't think of this. By the way: using community/jshon it is possible to script something up with a more generic tool, eg. $ wget -q -O '/dl/linux-archlinux.org-mirrors.json' \ 'https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/json/' $ for i in {0..555};do echo $( jshon -e urls -e $i -e score -u -p -e country -u -p -e url -u \ < /dl/linux-archlinux.org-mirrors.json ) || break;done | egrep -v '^(undef|null)' | egrep '[[:space:]]Germany[[:space:]]' | sort -k1,1n | uniq | head -n7 1.087776 Germany http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/archlinux/ 1.128424 Germany http://archlinux.limun.org/ 1.206714 Germany http://mirror.devnu11.net/archlinux/ 1.281882 Germany http://arch.mirrors.tuxdroid.org/ 1.663009 Germany http://mirror.selfnet.de/archlinux/ 1.714045 Germany http://mirrors.n-ix.net/archlinux/ 1.893226 Germany ftp://arch.mirrors.tuxdroid.org/ I take it the object member "score" combines freshness. clemens
