[solved] pacman cannot retrieve core.db

I get the following errors when I try updating via pacman:

[eric@blackmesa sync]$ sudo pacman -Syyu

 there is nothing to do

Sometimes I cannot get multilib either.

I am able to curl the first mirror:

[eric@blackmesa sync]$ curl -O http://mirrors.rutgers.edu/archlinux/core/os/x86_64/core.db

# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and

[eric@blackmesa pacman.d]$ 

I tried removing core.db from /var/lib/pacman/sync/ and I changed SigLevel to Never in pacman.conf. I've tried other keyservers, and I've tried different mirrors. I'm not sure what to do from this point. I need pacman to continue building my system, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Are you able to curl any mirrors?

No. it seems that no matter what mirrors I choose, same thing happens.

Re: [solved] pacman cannot retrieve core.db

Ok. Oddly, there was a line in my mirrorlist file with the mirror I had selected during installation. After commenting that line everything seems to be back to normal.
