Hi,
After installing Garuda I’ve noticed that my system updates are extremely slow or failing constantly. I took a look at the Reflector settings and for some reason they were set to countries really far away (which made updates slow and failing constantly).
I’ve now added /etc/reflector-simple.conf containing the following:
–save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
–protocol https
–country US
–latest 10
–sort country
–age 10
But this has resulted in reflector-simple reporting that it’s unable to contact any mirrors, blocking any update. How can I fix this?
