Reflector choosing the worst possible mirrors (vlemmy.net)

I used to pick out mirrors manually and had servers very close to me, but I recently started using reflector to automate the process, but the mirrors it chooses is absolute dogshit and gives me really slow speeds.

What am I doing wrong?

If reflector is failing you, know that you can do it without reflector:

curl -s "https://archlinux.org/mirrorlist/?country=FR&country=GB&protocol=https&use_mirror_status=on" | sed -e 's/^#Server/Server/' -e '/^#/d' | rankmirrors -n 5 -
