Pacman error retrieving archstuff.db

Hi,
I'm on a Arch_64.
I run pacman -Syu on a daily basis.
For the last few days I get the following error message:

error: failed retrieving file 'archstuff.db' from archstuff.vs169092.vserver.de : Connection refused

Mofying my mirrorlist (changing from the Israel fto server, although reported as updated 1.37 hours ago, to a few others) did NOT help.

Please advise.

Thanks

Re: Pacman error retrieving archstuff.db

Does it work with this mirror?

Server = http://mir.archlinux.fr/$repo/os/$arch

Re: Pacman error retrieving archstuff.db

archstuff is some unofficial user repository, with only one server which is apparently down. Changing mirrors of official arch repositories won't help.

Thanks for the clarification.
Above mirror did NOT solve the problem.

Ok, didn't know about archstuff. Good luck with the unofficial user repostory.

(IMO, this is not a pacman & package upgrade issue, as it has nothing to do with pacman or the official packages).

It's been down for some time, no idea when / if it comes back.
