- Be verbose when generating the mirrorlist:

`rankmirrors {{[-v|--verbose]}} {{/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist}}`

- Test only a specific URL:

`rankmirrors {{[-u|--url]}} {{url}}`

- Output only the response times instead of a full mirrorlist:

`rankmirrors {{[-t|--times]}} {{/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist}}`
