[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 you should uncomment the country option, and specify your country and a few close to you. Latest synchronized, doesn't mean they are close to you.
