Arch Linux Mirror (pacman repository) in Iran
Arch Linux mirror (pacman repository) — For Arch updates in Iran, Rasanegaar Mirror keeps the rolling-release repo close to your desktops and servers — so every pacman -Syu need not depend on distant mirrors.
About Arch Linux
Arch Linux is a rolling-release distribution with pacman; many users update almost daily. core, extra, and multilib move constantly, and every pacman -Syu moves real traffic.
Mirror lag means slow downloads or packages that no longer match the database. For rolling release, a nearby, regularly refreshed mirror in Iran is about reliability as much as speed.
Official ISOs and images are served from the same tree — fresh installs or recovery media need not pull from abroad.
Arch mirror in Iran
The Arch mirror in Iran at mirror.rasanegaar.com/archlinux serves the same official layout so pacman pulls from Rasanegaar’s software repository.
The tree is live — browse the listing, check size and last update, and switch with one script or a few lines in your mirrorlist.
Use this Server line for pacman: https://mirror.rasanegaar.com/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch — pacman fills $repo and $arch itself.

Updating Arch in Iran
Updating Arch in Iran against Rasanegaar Mirror usually feels smoother than geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com or European mirrors — especially when several hosts run -Syu at once.
After switching, keep your normal pacman routine; only the package origin changed. If pacman complains about an out-of-date mirror, check this page’s last-update facts first.
Single-package installs use the same mirror — for example sudo pacman -S vim.
