Pacman

In the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist can I comment out all the servers I don't want?

Re: Pacman

Cool.  Should I also comment out ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/x86_64 ?

I commented out all the ones I don't want, except for that because I'm not sure about it..there's only one other than that that isn't commented out lol.

Re: Pacman

You can comment out ftp.archlinux.org.  It's use is discouraged anyway.

Re: Pacman

Yes, it is best not to use the ftp.archlinux.org mirror.  Not only does it save the distro some bandwidth, it is also capped for download speed/
