Used rank mirror script but everyone "connection time-out

What is going on?

I can ping google no problem, but like the subject says everything says "connection time-out" when I try to

pacman -Syy

or when I try to

pacstrap /mnt base base-devel

.

So what is going on?

To be sure I used the http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ and entered the first 10 mirrors from the list but I am having the same problem.

And can you ping those mirrors? Can you use the web?

First, I edited my nameserver and things seemed to be going well but for some reason /etc/resolv.conf reverted back to the origianl...

What is going on?

It's being rewritten by dhclient or dhcpcd, most likely. You can put your settings in /etc/resolv.conf.head to get them to stick, because when dhcpcd rewrites resolv.conf it includes the contents of resolv.conf.head at the start of the file. You can also tell dhcpcd not to rewrite resolv.conf by adding "nohook resolv.conf" to /etc/dhcpcd.conf. I assume you can do the same with dhclient, but I don't know how off the top of my head and I'm writing this from a train with very patchy coverage on my phone so I'm having trouble getting the page to load.

The culprit may also be pppd, if you're running ppp connections off this machine. You can disable usepeerdns in the config for that ppp peer.

What does your mirrorlist look like? Also, your pacman.conf is probably worth posting.
