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.
