Can you add a explanation and description for this PR.
Also this usrs input and not the TUI menu.

okay

In addition, this should not be in the main.py

So do I need to make some changes?

[svartkanin]

The tui should not get included into the main.py, so I would suggest to extract all that functionality out of the main

Okay, I changed it.

This is still using

		return input(prompt).strip().lower() in ('y', 'yes', '')

also why was the check_online moved?

If you're just using an LLM, please don't as these PRs are on the very bottom of my priority list.

I fixed it, and now can use tui to switch

Can you explain what problem you're actually trying to solve here?
I just run the code I was prompted after a 2 second delay if I want to switch mirrors which doesn't make sese.

The retry parameter is always set to false so there's no point in that. Also even if pacman -Sy succeeds it will still prompt for a mirror selection just because it was slow? Then why do we need this special menu hook instead of the user just doing it right in the global menu as the is shown right after?

[xhdndmm]

In some cases, mirror sites are very slow. I want to solve this by allowing users to switch to a different mirror site.
