Ok great @Wisermans , but for any reason I don’t see any benefits for a causal user beside the feeling: “I retrieve packages only from servers of countries which are members the European Union.”
- The servers don’t collect personal data. Would you call temporary IPs as personal data?
- There are gnupg signatures to ensure that the data has not been manipulated.
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t that some kind of patriotism? I am not against any patriotism of any kind, but feel free to do it for own benefits of feeling “better”.

@megavolt i replied to you in DM as i already said that i don’t reply to questions that have nothing to do with technical points like “patriotism” or so.
@omano gave a link to pacman-mirrors and i made a simple script to implement a simple solution, in the same way as @Strit was saying that it needed a list.

If you even call “European Union” than this whole topic becomes already political loaded.
As said in the DM: If you trust on Trends or trust on server location and political laws, then I am sorry.
The package system “pacman/pamac” has a forced gpg verfiication for security reason and I don’t see why IP addresses, which are exposed to any website in the world, should be a problem.
