[SOLVED] Using reflector but no updates for a while

Hello everyone, I wasn't sure whether to ask this here or in some other thread.

Anyways, I am using reflector but since a week or so there has been no updates. Here is my mirrorlist that I just generated once again:

################################################################################
################# Arch Linux mirrorlist generated by Reflector #################
################################################################################

# With:       reflector --verbose --country Italy --sort rate --save /etc/pacma>
# When:       2022-08-28 13:25:27 UTC
# From:       https://archlinux.org/mirrors/status/json/
# Retrieved:  2022-08-28 13:25:23 UTC

Server = http://archlinux.mirror.server24.net/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://archlinux.mirror.server24.net/$repo/os/$arch
Server = http://mirrors.prometeus.net/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://archmirror.it/repos/$repo/os/$arch

Is there something wrong with my mirrors or hasn't there actually been any updates in a while?

Thank you in advance.

Re: [SOLVED] Using reflector but no updates for a while

The top mirror is out of sync, https://archlinux.org/mirrors/status/
Possibly due to https://archlinux.org/news/git-migration-announcement/

Only archmirror.it is synced.
Use a stricter reflector criteria, eg. "--latest" or "--age" and probably remove the nationality filter (or add countries)

Here is my mirrorlist that I just generated

'Just' being August 2022? Aside from seth's comments, I suspect you are running reflector without '--save'/redirect and/or as an unprivileged user.

Re: [SOLVED] Using reflector but no updates for a while

Oh.. you're right, I didn't even notice.

It seems that reflector wasn't working properly or the service got disabled somehow.

All I had to do was enabling reflector.service and reboot.

Thank you so much!
