Hi guys,
A few weeks ago, when I started using a new modem, I started having trouble with Pacman. I've been unable to syncronize my repos and I've only been able to install two programs. The majority of the time Pacman just fails to connect. Despite this, I have no trouble using the internet at all, although FileZilla seems to have stopped connecting to FTP servers too, but I don't know if that's related.
As you can see, when I use 'pacman -syy', it fails for all the official repos. 'eee' is an unofficial repo with software for my Eee PC.
[david@Jericho pacman.d]$ sudo pacman -Syy

Does anybody have any idea what's going on?
