Hello! I just freshly installed Arch Linux on my test machine. Whenever I try to use pacman -Sy to update the package database, I get this error:
:: Synchronizing package databases..
error: failed retrieving file 'current.db.tar.gz' from locke.suu.edu : Connection timed out
error: failed to synchronize current: Connection timed out
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db.tar.gz' from locke.suu.edu : Connection timed out
error: failed to synchronize extra: Connection timed out
error: failed retrieving file 'community.db.tar.gz' from locke.suu.edu : Connection timed out
error: failed to synchronize community: Connection timed out
error: failed to synchronize any databases
I have a DHCP connection a router for my local lan. I can ping outside servers, like www.google.com. My router is at 192.168.1.1. Here are the contents of /etc/rc.conf:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
If I run "route" I get this:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Thanks!

The server you are trying to reach is down apparently. Go into your /etc/pacman.d/... and check edit your servers in the files: current, extra, community (and any other repositories you have selected).

I already tried switching servers. It only increased the wait time. I might have gotten unlucky. I will try that now.
EDIT: It works. I guess that both nethat and locke were down...when I tried easynews it worked. Third time's the charm.
Thanks!
