rankmirrors good?

I wonder if the result from rankmirrors is very reliable..? I got the 10 latest mirrors (reflector) and tried the one on top by rankmirrors for installing open office. Another mirror near the bottom of rankmirror's list is about 3-4 times faster in terms of transfer rate (after it's gotten going).

Also I would like to ask how the scoring works..? Using -v rankmirrors gives a score for each mirror, but the "ordered" list given in the end seems not to follow the score very closely.

Re: rankmirrors good?

rankmirrors in pacman-3.4.0 is broken.    You might notice the results come out in alphabetical order...
