]]>Lucky this thread is around.
]]>Thanks to google I found this post.
The only question remaining is should I uncomment all of the servers? or should I just pick a few.. Reason being does it parse down the list from top to bottom and use the first one it finds?
]]>Ok, I see the problem now. Thanks for that.
But shouldn't be in that case some kind of message, so the user really knows that he has to change the mirrorlist? Just as an option to think of for other updates like that.
+1
I googled and found this thread and things worked once I uncommented some mirrors in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist as suggested! Thanks for this "documentation"
]]>Uhm, you may have not noticed it, but:
EDIT:
Problem solved. There were no uncommented lines in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. I just uncommented some and now it works.
But how can it happen that there are suddenly no mirrors activated?
We want to force users to uncomment the appropriate mirrors for their location instead of just using the first one on the list by default.

# REPOSITORIES
# - can be defined here or included from another file
# - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
# - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
# - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
# have identical names, regardless of version number
# - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
# [repo-name]
# Server = ServerName
# Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#
# Testing is disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the following
# two lines. You can add preferred servers immediately after the header,
# and they will be used before the default mirrors.
#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
