How to use reflector to sort by country?

Mr. Alex · 2010-09-30 18:23:26

I want to download all USA mirrors. I try:

reflector -c USA

or

reflector -c usa

or another countries but every time it gives me only two URLs and that's it. No matter what country I type in. What am I doing wrong?

How about

reflector --country %own% -o <outputfile>

I got seven mirrors.

What is "%own%"? What should I type in there?

You should read the manual :-)
Just type it as it is, but provide a valid output filename:

reflector --country %own% -o stupid_mirrors

works here

[karol@black ~]$ reflector --country %own% -o stupid_mirrors
[karol@black ~]$ cat stupid_mirrors
