What is the right format of the URL downloading package from mirrors instead of official arch mirror? #17

Hi thanks for your incredible work, I am living in China, The official mirror is too slow, I try to change it to local mirror but failed

First of all I am not really sure that this would work. Since this was made with only the official url in mind. If you still want to try...

the format is https://archlinux.org/packages/{repo}/{arch}/{pkg}/download. The values inside {} will be replaced on runtime. {repo} will be replaced with the repository(community, extra etc.), {arch} will be replaced with the architecture of the system (ie. x86_64) and {pkg} will be replaced with the package name. You can use these variables to build a url for your local mirror. The response of this must be a package file.
