[sureshsivalingam01]

I tried this in terminal to change mirror server

sudo reflector --country Canada --latest 15 --age 2 --fastest 20 --protocol https --sort rate --save /etc
/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Failed with

WARNING: failed to rate http(s) download (https://mirror.sergal.org/archlinux/community/os/x86_64/community.db): Download timed out after 5 second(s).

I tried changing it in reflector_simple but it doesn't change anything, still in india. same error.
I waited for it to complete the same error appears

try another mirror

Are you able to sudo pacman -Syu ?
I'm asking this only to check if there is an underlying DB lock to be removed.
Or directly run

sudo rm /var/lib/pacman/db.lck

It won't hurt anyway...

sudo reflector

You’re adding several filters that narrow the choices. Try a wider filter, e.g.

sudo reflector --latest 10 --score 10 --protocol https --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

I can able to do system update

[sureshsivalingam01]

I did it it popups the server list, then I clicked to save in mirrorlist but it doesnt change the server, still in India.

That doesn't sound like you ran the command I posted.

What's the output of

reflector --latest 10 --score 10 --protocol https

?
