So,
I installed MlDonkey. I than tried to download another package. I had an error where it could not grab files off of extra any more. So here are the steps that I took to get pacman working correctly again.
# cd /etc/pacman.d
# cp mirrorlist mirrorlist.backup
# nano mirrorlist.backup
# sed '/^#\S/ s|#||' -i mirrorlist.backup
# rankmirrors -n 6 mirrorlist.backup > mirrorlist
It took a LONG time when I actually ranked the mirrors around 10 minutes. Also do not forget the the sudo command if you are in your user, and on the last command even when I used sudo it kept telling me permission denied, I ended up just su into root and than it worked. I am not sure as to why. I hope this helps people.

I love computers, networking and Arch Linux. Sometimes I might ask a stupid question, but please have grace with me like I would with you.
