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>

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

OPTIONS

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

nala fetch --debian sid

Much like --debian but for Ubuntu

nala fetch --ubuntu jammy

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

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

By default nala will not include the source repos.

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

This switch does nothing on Ubuntu systems.

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.
