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?

In my reflector.conf, I have --score 5 instead of --latest 5. I don't know how much this actually improves anything, but surely selecting by score is better than just using the most recently updated mirrors.
