Pamac super slow download after fresh Manjaro install

Reinstalled Manjaro today on a new SSD because my old SSD failed.
Pamac shows 300MB updates.
After 10 Minutes only 15MB were downloaded with Pamac GUI.
After searching the web for possible bugs, i found the Pamac Mirror list is set to any mirrors by default.
This is stupid, seems that Pamac uses a random mirror on first startup. In my case a super slow mirror.
Please add manual mirror list acknowledgement on first Pamac start to avoid slow or not optimal download speed.

Sorry what? If we are using that word then what is stupid - is that you did not rebuild the mirrorlist after install.

Thanks! This will set mirrors to the fastest five. Should be set by default, new users do not care and will uninstall again.

This is my argument, i hope Pacman will do this automatically in the future. There is no point doing it manually if it’s always necessary.
