Can't update community repo [solved]

Hello,

I'm trying to update my system but any time I try to do it I can't update community repo (I can update the others). This is the output for a simple "pacman -Syu":

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community                170.0K  190.1K/s 00:00:01 [#####################] 100%
error: could not extract 6     ((Empty error message))
error: failed to update community (unexpected system error)
 archlinuxfr is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 local database is up to date

The problem started after my system freezed.

Any idea? Thank you

The problem affects some repositories, try changing your mirror or waiting a couple of hours and syncing again

I tried to extract the community db (located at /var/lib/pacman/community.db.tar.gz) and it throws an EOF error, so may be the problem isn't at my computer.

Well, forget about this topic. I've made some changes in my mirrorlist file and now it works.

Sorry, I didn't see your anwser. You were right, changing my mirror solved the problem. I just was worried because the problem appeared after my system freezed.

Thank you very much.
