What's the best Arch mirror for India ?

I have tried the Israeli mirror, a few european mirrors and even the US based mirrors, but none of them give me good download speeds.

Can some users in India tell me which might be a good mirror to use. I used to get amazing speeds from a few US mirrors when I was in the US. I am trying to set this up for my parents here in India so that they can have good speeds.

You can try using rankmirrors on the mirrorlist, rankmirrors mirrorlist > mirrorlist.new

Which will sort by lowest ping

Ok I tried the rankmirrors and also replaced the mirrorlist with the new one that was generated. But it still does not help. I tried updating the system today and it had to download about 111 MB worth of data and its been 3 hours now and it still hasnt finished. I am not sure if its a problem at the mirrors or my machine.

Locally the applications start up pretty quickly so my machine is not lagging in that regards.

What could be the issue?

i am using the unixheads and the locke.suu mirrors here in India. speed is quite good

Same here. unixheads gives me close to full bandwidth usage.
