Reflector choosing the worst possible mirrors (vlemmy.net)

I used to pick out mirrors manually and had servers very close to me, but I recently started using reflector to automate the process, but the mirrors it chooses is absolute dogshit and gives me really slow speeds.

What am I doing wrong?

i believe that is what will be used by reflector if it is enabled/started as a systemd service. but, i think, that'll not be used if you're just calling it on the command-line. in that latter case, i think you must supply (those) command-line switches on ...the command-line. (maybe)

The systemd service is enabled, and when I did actually apply all these in the command line manually too before enabling the service.

ah. now armed with that extra information, i can only profess cluelessness. perhaps a "--verbose" option, well watched, would reveal something (maybe) good luck!
