[Solved] Pacman download speeds 5-11Kbs

oodevil · 2018-02-22 16:56:13

I've searched through numerous forums and pages including:

Powerpill
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/po … f_packages
PKGBUILD
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD
AUR
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … g_packages

to look for solutions to the problem I'm having dealing with the problem. I'm now trying this command:
sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel

which is installing these packages:
1) autoconf 2) automake 3) binutils 4) bison 5) fakeroot 6) file
7) findutils 8) flex 9) gawk 10) gcc 11) gettext 12) grep 13) groff
14) gzip 15) libtool 16) m4 17) make 18) pacman 19) patch
20) pkg-config 21) sed 22) sudo 23) systemd 24) texinfo 25) util-linux
26) which

I'm not sure exactly what to expect form this but it doesn't seem like anything that will be increasing my throughput will be increased. Could someone please provide a bit of clarification as to why it's not/wouldn't perform as optimally?

P.S. I've ran a speed test and my download speed from the internet is 26Mb/s, so I am more inclined to think it's more so pacman

Welcome to the forums oodevil

Have you tried using a different mirror?

Thanks! Throughput has done waaay better now. I guess my default was in Europe somewhere.
