pacman fails to download: pacman, libdownload, libarchive, fakeroot

I am trying to update pacman, but I get this message:

failed downloading certainpackage from certainmirror

where certainmirror is every mirror I have listed and certainpackage is either pacman, libdownload, libarchive, or fakeroot

I have changed current to core in my pacman.conf file. What am I missing?

As detailed in all communication about the repo reorganisation, you should not change your /etc/pacman.conf file until after you have upgraded pacman. You need pacman 3.0.5-4 or greater.

I am still getting the error message after I changed pacman.conf back to the way it was.

As far as I remember, you have to use pacman -S pacman for this particular case instead of pacman -Syu or something.
