[SOLVED] Reflector error

Good morning,
Please could you help me with a "reflector" error?
This is the reflector output:

[at@arch ~]$ sudo reflector --country 'United Kingdom' --age 6 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[2023-11-02 10:09:44] WARNING: failed to rate http(s) download (http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/archlinux/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db): Download timed out after 5 second(s).

I have also checked the systemctl reflector status, and this is the output:

[at@arch ~]$ sudo systemctl status reflector
○ reflector.service - Refresh Pacman mirrorlist with Reflector.
      Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/reflector.service; enabled; preset: disabled)
      Active: inactive (dead)

Nov 02 09:50:38 arch systemd[1]: reflector.service: Deactivated successfully.
Nov 02 09:50:38 arch systemd[1]: Finished Refresh Pacman mirrorlist with Reflector..

Thank you very much in advance.

Re: [SOLVED] Reflector error

Install rsync or ignore those as none of them will be primarily relevant. If it's just about getting a clean output specify --protocol https as part of your reflector invocation.
