http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Imp … erformance
So:
# cp /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.orgthen remove all the #'s before the mirrors in the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.org with your favorite editor.
then run
# rankmirrors -n 10 /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.orgThere you have it, the 10 best mirrors for you. Don't forget to paste those 10 at the top of /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Although I agree that latency measurement is a good start, low ping does not equal high bandwidth/speed. Use something like wget to further measure a few close mirrors.
