# Rapid mirror switcher

This is a tool to help you switch mirrors for differnent applications. Due to the uncertainty of international Internet connection speed, sometimes you need to switch to a faster mirror hosted near you to get a decent download speed. 

However, apply settings to different applications is not easy since they often require different setting procedures. This tool provides a universal interface to help you to apply settings to different applications.

Setting mirrors was never such a charm.

And it's not just about speed. Instead, we consider stability seriously. The dashboard view gives you the server status. A warning is present if some mirror server is relatively slow or down.

## Usage

To show current mirror status for each supported application, run:
```
$ rapid-mirror
```

To automatically set the fastest mirror for a specific application based on latency, run:
```
$ rapid-mirror -s <app>
```

To manually set the fastest mirror for a specific application based on latency, firstly, you may need to test latency and availability of each mirror sites. Then, select the desired mirror site.
```
# test latency
$ rapid-mirror -t <app>

# select mirror
$ rapid-mirror -s <app> <mirror>
```
