Failed to commit transaction: couldn't retrieve files.

Hello again,

When I try to install Xfce4 (through # pacman -S xfce4), I'm getting the following error:

The same happens when I try to install GNOME.   I've got no idea what I did wrong, any help would be appreciated!

Is the internet connection okay? Which mirror do you use ?

Re: Failed to commit transaction: couldn't retrieve files.

there have been quite a few mirror issues lately.  choose a new mirror in your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file, issue pacman -Syy, and try again.
