NAME

       nala-fetch - Fetch fast mirrors to improve download speed

SYNOPSIS

       nala fetch [--options]

DESCRIPTION

       nala will fetch fast mirrors to improve download speed.

       nala parses the following files to find mirrors:

              For Debian <https://mirror-master.debian.org/status/Mirrors.masterlist>

              For Ubuntu <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors-rss>

              For Devuan <https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt>

       The resulting file of mirrors will be located at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nala-sources.list

       When selecting mirrors in the interactive display, you can pass a comma or space separated
       list.

       Examples:

              Specific List:

                     1,2,3,4 Selects mirrors 1, 2, 3 and 4

                     Comma and spaces may be mixed in the input.  nala  will  parse  it  all  the
                     same.

                     1,3 , 4 5 will select mirrors 1, 3, 4 and 5

              Range: 1..5 will select mirrors 1 through 5

              Even Range: 0..1..5 selects 2 and 4

              Odd Range: 1..1..5 selects 1, 3 and 5

OPTIONS

       --debian
              Instead  of  auto  detecting  the  distro  and  release, you can use this switch to
              specify a Debian release.

              nala fetch --debian sid

       --ubuntu
              Much like --debian but for Ubuntu

              nala fetch --ubuntu jammy

       --devuan
              Much like --debian but for Devuan

              nala fetch --devuan unstable

       --https-only
              fetch will only provide https mirrors.

       --auto Run fetch uninteractively.  Will still prompt for overwriting the sources  file  if
              it exists.

       --fetches
              This controls the number of mirrors to fetch.

              With  --auto  this  will  default  to  3  mirrors, and write as many mirrors as you
              specify to the file.

              In the interactive version of fetch, this will default to 16 mirrors.   Instead  of
              controlling  the  amount of mirrors that will be written, it controls the amount of
              mirrors you are shown to select from.

       --sources
              Add the source repos for the mirror, if it exists.

              By default nala will not include the source repos.

       --non-free
              Add contrib and non-free components of the Debian mirrors.

              This switch does nothing on Ubuntu systems.

       --debug
              Print helpful information for solving issues.  If you're submitting  a  bug  report
              try running the command again with --debug and providing the output to the devs, it
              may be helpful.

       -c, --country
              Specify your country to limit the mirror search using  the  2  letter  ISO  country
              code.

              This option can be specified multiple times to increase the pool.

              Example:

                     nala fetch -c US -c CA

       -v, --verbose
              Disable scrolling text and print extra information

       -h, --help
              Shows this man page.
