<h2>Pacman Mirrorlist Generator</h2>
+ <p>This page generates the most up-to-date mirrorlist possible for Arch
+ Linux. The data used here comes straight from the developers' internal
+ mirror database used to track mirror availability and tiering. There are
+ two main options: get a mirrorlist with every available mirror, or get a
+ mirrorlist tailored to your geography.</p>
+
+ <h3>Mirrorlist with all available mirrors</h3>
+
+ <p>You can get an up-to-date
+ <a href="all/">mirrorlist containing all available mirrors</a>.
+ This URL requires no GET or POST parameters so can be fetched from the
+ command line if desired.<p>
+
+ <h3>Customized by country mirrorlist</h3>
+
<p>The following form can generate a custom up-to-date
<a href="http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman"
title="ArchWiki: Pacman">pacman</a> mirrorlist based on geography.
Simply replace the contents of <code>/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist</code> with
the generated code.</p>
