[SOLVED]pacman issue -- no mirror is responding

Hello,e verybody ! I have an issue with pacman : I cannot install/update/syncronize with it because no mirror is responding.
I activated every ftp mirror but they all do not answer in the fellowing fashion:

The issue stands whichever I use ethernet or the wireless connection...
I'm stuck with it. Hence, any help is welcomed and thanked !

EDIT: The solution was easy… My university filters every ftp requests, i simply have to us http mirrors.
