I'm a new user trying to move on from Ubuntu.
I have two systems.
System-1(Lubuntu): Download speeds: upto 10kbps. I also get 100-200kbps using "ssh -D" from my college servers.
System-2(Want to install Arch): Download speeds upto 5kbps. Failed to get base and base-devel at these speeds.
So as you can see I need help on how to get the "pacstrap /mnt base base-devel" working without an active internet connection. How do I go about with this.
Thankyou

How do i download those packages and make a custom repo without having arch? I'm using Ubuntu.

Boot the Arch iso on the first system (boot from a CD or USB). You don't have to install anything, use pacman to download the needed packages and create the custom repo.
I haven't tried it, but it should work.

This would not be useful as i wouldn't be able to make use of the better speeds i can get through ssh. Could you suggest me some way to be able to download this packages via browser?
Try this.
I'll use this for the next the time I "re-install" arch.

Sorry, I misunderstood the part about ssh.
pacman -Sp base base-develwill print out the urls. Does that help?
