[SOLVED] packages are not downloading

[proud sierra]

Was trying to download neofetch through sudo pacman -S neofetch, but this happened

error: failed retrieving file 'neofetch-7.1.0-2-any.pkg.tar.zst.sig' from mirror.sahil.world : Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transferred the last 10 seconds
warning: failed to retrieve some files
error: failed to commit transaction (failed to retrieve some files)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

How can I troubleshoot this? I am using Arch Linux

Here's what I have tried:
sudo reflector --country India,Japan,Singapore --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
sudo pacman -S rsync
both of these are not working as they should be, my internet connection is fine.

could you do

sudo reflector --latest 20 --protocol https --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

?

[proud sierra]

lemme try

[tame holly]

this seems like a mirror issue

or we could try and restart pacman manually

[proud sierra]

tried this now, am I actually editing into the mirrorlist? cause there is no output

[tame holly]

No, this will update your mirror and show the 20 fastest mirrors ftom downloading speeds

[proud sierra]

nvm, i was able to type into it (i thought my sudo password was not accepted because it was stucked)

well, it's stuck

[tame holly]

its stuck?

mmh

[proud sierra]
