[SOLVED] resume download problem

My problem is that during update pacman is unable to resume downloading partially downloaded package, it says "warning: resuming download of <x>.pkg.tar.xz not possible; starting over". Quite annoying, as I have not so good connection, it takes a day to update my system. I have started to notice this behaviour a month ago, I suppose.

It works here, maybe your mirror does not support resuming?

Maybe the server you're using doesn't permit resuming? Does it happen with ~20 servers or just 1-2?
Have you tried using things like reflector? Have you tried xdelta-based mirrors?

But I haven't changed any mirrors for months... Anyway, now it works! I just swapped some servers in my mirrorlist. Thanks, hokasch, karol. Problem is solved.
