What makes you think this is a pacman problem?
Try downloading the packages manually using wget. (Use pacman -Sp <packages> to get their url).

Check your mirrorlist file to make sure you use the closest/fastest mirror to you.
Pacman uses wget to download files, so it's probably not a pacman issue.

No, it doesn't, it uses libdownload. By default at least.

You can however use wget through the XferCommand option. Even though that's a little hackish, it should still work fine.

Re: [SOLVED]Pacman download very slow

If you upgraded to pacman 3.1, your new mirrorlist has the throttled ftp.archlinux.org site as the top on the list.  Comment it out.
