Hello, I'd like to propose a change to pacman, but I don't know if someone is
already working on it for the next release. I think it would be useful if
pacman could hold the first working mirror when downloading updates. Yesterday
I was upgrading all my packages and, for some reason, the first five mirrors
timed out after a few seconds, so every time pacman was downloading a package,
it checked all the mirrors from the beginning until it found one where to grab
the updated package. I had many old packages so this process quickly became a
little frustrating, and to me it would have been faster if it remembered the
first working mirror instead of checking all of them every time.
