There is a perl script that will sort your mirrors for you.  Here are the steps.

# ./sortmirrors.pl </etc/pacman.conf >pacman.conf.new 

Make sure pacman.conf.new looks okay, then move it into place:

# mv pacman.conf.new /etc/pacman.conf

Hi. I live in Poland. I'm currently using ftp.archlinux.de. It's quite fast and up to date. I was using ftp.tu-chemnitz.de before. Also archlinux.creativa.cl works (or at least worked last time I checked) very fast for me.
The perl script above uses netselect package so If you don't like letting some script messing with your pacman.conf You can use It directly :-). You can try mtr too (it has both gui and cli and more or less combines traceroute with ping).
