I got this error when I tried to update my system....:(
[root@hudsonslair pacman.d]# pacman -Suy

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

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.
