[SOLVED]Error while trying to synchronizing package databases...

I got this error when I tried to update my system....:(

[root@hudsonslair pacman.d]# pacman -Suy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'current.db.tar.gz' from ftp.gigabit.nu : Connection refused
error: failed retrieving file 'current.db.tar.gz' from ftp.ds.hj.se : Connection refused

error: failed retrieving file 'community.db.tar.gz' from ftp.gigabit.nu : Connection refused

error: failed to synchronize any databases

[root@hudsonslair pacman.d]#

I then tried to use another server in pacman.d but I got the same result. The good news is that I still got internet working ie. can use firefox and surf to different sites big_smile

The server seems to be alive

[root@hudsonslair pacman.d]# ping ftp.gigabit.nu

Your best bet is probably to try another mirror.  See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mirrors for a list.

Okey, I have tried all norways, finlands, swedens, germans and usa's mirrors and none of them will work for me. I got the exact same error as stated above! I don't think it's healthy for me to countinue and try out another mirror lol

I will simply try to reboot my arch and see what will happend..hahaha...this is just crazy! roll

Re: [SOLVED]Error while trying to synchronizing package databases...

Is your connection special in any way, like weird ISP, or strict firewall, or using a proxy, etc..
Did you try using http protocol also ? Several mirrors provide both ftp and http.
