[SOLVED]Mirrorlist availability

Hello, so Its been a while since Ive installed arch...and i have to say for a first time it was a pain in this ass cause i occurred many problems with my wireless connection so I repeated the process 4 times until i got a result. But what I learned on this 4 times was that when I installed the packages i needed the speed was a pain in the ass(again)...so i had to find a solution...I used reflector to use a mirror for my download source...what i realised is that mirrorlist did not actually had an avaible spot for my country. I am currently in Albania so what I did is that i used one for Greece since it was avaible and is the closest country. But i think that is just a temp solution so can someone help sort this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Sort what out?  What is your actual question?

You are supposed to select appropriate mirrors at the start of the installation process.

You choose the next closest, as you seemingly have already done? Mirrors don't just magically pop out of thin air and if there's no provider in your country you simply pick the closest neighbour.
