Description

Pacman mirror selection can be refreshed automatically from measured mirror quality. Administrators run `speculum` or enable `speculum.timer` to generate a better mirrorlist from `/etc/speculum.conf`. It contacts mirrors and can change package download sources, so review the generated mirror list before relying on it.

How to run

speculum

Commands: speculum
