pacman using wget for download task. but wget is not for multiple thread download. if using “aria2″, the download speed can sharply increase.

firstly, install aria2 by:

$pacman -Sy

$pacman -S aria2

then, edit /etc/pacman.conf, add a line:

XferCommand = /usr/bin/aria2c -s 2 -m 2 -d / -o %o %u

ok, try pacman again, you can see big change for download speed.
