[Solved]Pacman fails on sync

Hello there Archlinux folks!

Today, my beloved little home server, running Arch, was a real pain in the ... and I had to realize, the fact: I need the help of ppl who understand this better than I do.

As a related matter, I just bought a Network Media Player today, so I needed to modify my server a bit, like setup XBMC for upnp sharing, and Pacman showed me a "funny error message". With all due respect, I cannot reproduce the original anymore, - but it looked kinda same - since I tried to sync pacman with the repositories, and that somehow altered the current setup. Also tried to enable another repositories, but it did not helped.

Now if I try to install something, like # pacman -S xbmc the following error message is triggered:

[root@hoth estol]# pacman -S xbmc

Sorry about the language, it is localized for Hungarian.

hint:

hiba is for error
letölteni is for download
Teljes is for total
Telepít(telepítés, telepített) is for install(installing, installed)

Then I interrupt it, since it takes a long time.

The most confusing part is, that even a simple management command - like # pacman -Syu - is also triggering an error:

[root@hoth estol]# pacman -Syu

Re: [Solved]Pacman fails on sync

Did you try switching to a different mirror?

Re: [Solved]Pacman fails on sync

Next time run 'LC_MESSAGES=C <command>' to get English messages instead of localized ones - much easier to google etc.

Re: [Solved]Pacman fails on sync

Does "ping ftp.mfa.kfki.hu" works to you?

Re: [Solved]Pacman fails on sync

@skunktrader: yes, I tried, no it did not helped.
@karol: mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, a friend of mine hooked me up with this distro, and set it to be hungarian as default, now I know how to change it - to be honest, this language annoys the crap out of me.
@TigTex: yes, the host is alive, I can even browse the contents.

Thanks for all the help, as it turned out, the problem was hardware related. Time to put her down.
