Pacman Not Updating!

For the past few days, Pacman has done nothing when I issue "pacman -Syu".  It claims no package updates are available, but I KNOW that updates are available.  And yet, it says there aren't.  I've tried running "pacman -Syy" and reinstalling pacman-mirrorlist, but those have done no good.  What's going on?

Re: Pacman Not Updating!

Re-installing the mirrorlist would be futile if you are using the same mirror,
have you tried a different mirror ?

Re: Pacman Not Updating!

Use http://users.archlinux.de/~gerbra/mirrorcheck.html to see fi the mirror that you are using has been updated in the last hours. If not, change your mirror.

Re: Pacman Not Updating!

You can also use reflector to retrieve a filtered set of mirrors from that page.
