When I pacman-Syu, it fluctuates between 200kb to 500kb

I checked my internet speed at fast.com and it says 490Mbps

Something isn’t right.

Reflector is doing its job. I checked /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and saw the last updated time is very recent (today).

Glad you posted this. I thought reflector was a set it and forget it tool, but sounds like it isn't as smart as advertised. I think Garuda (Arch) uses a different tool to rate and update mirrors (dunno what), so if you want something automatic, maybe look into what they do.

Thanks. This is something that I will have a look.
