[SOLVED] Pacman slow download speed (random-hero.com)

Hello everyone!

I'm experiencing troubles when installing and updating dependencies via pacman, download speed is waaay too low like 30-40 kb/s. I've tried reflector and rank-mirors, I even moved mirrors from another machine where everything works well but nothing helped.

As far as I can tell it's not a slow internet connection problem, because when I download torrents the speed is good (up to 7 megabytes per second).

How can I troubleshoot this?

Thanks!

Maybe your BitTorrent software eats all the bandwidth so other networking programs shows bad performance?

Have you tried pacman without running your BitTorrent software?

Nah, I was only testing speed with torrents, right now pretty much everything is disabled
