How do I update the download mirrors?

Hi friends.

How do I update the Arch and Cachyos package download mirrors?

When I update using “pacmcan” or “paru”, are the mirrors also updated, or are they updated separately?

Thanks in advance.

You do it like;

sudo cachyos-rate-mirrors

But you likely already have it running automatically and you can see with;

systemctl status cachyos-rate-mirrors.timer cachyos-rate-mirrors.service

Thank you so much, friend. I didn’t know it updated automatically, that’s great, thanks!
