Sudonix > Arch Linux | Reflector
One of the things that I have found that can be annoying with Arch is that if you aren’t updating the OS on a regular basis, you will run into not being able to due the updates because the mirrorlist will be out of date. The easiest way to circumvent this is to update Arch using sudo pacman -Syu weekly/bi-weekly.
Another option is to install Reflector and enable and start the service so it can run on boot it is hooked into pacman when you run it. I am not sure if this would be a problem if you are using Arch as a daily driver and updating through the Software Center.
This installs Reflector
sudo pacman -S reflector
This starts Reflector service
sudo systemctl start reflector
This allows Reflector service to start at boot
sudo systemctl enable reflector
This allows you to check on the status of Reflector
sudo systemctl status reflector
