problem with pacman

Ah...
type " sudo pacman -Sy"
then I got:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'archiso-live.db.tar.gz' from arch-live.isawsome.net : Connection reset by peer
error: failed to update archiso-live (Connection reset by peer)

I'm not sure if I had done sth wrong with /etc/pacman.conf or /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Re: problem with pacman

Look at your /etc/pacman.conf.

Underneath the "# REPOSITORIES" line, are these lines present? Are any other unquoted lines present?

# Testing is disabled by default.  To enable, uncomment the following
# two lines.  You can add preferred servers immediately after the header,
# and they will be used before the default mirrors.
# [testing]
# Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Re: problem with pacman

This is what my pacman.conf look like:

#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman manpage for option directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir     = /
#DBPath      = /var/lib/pacman/
#CacheDir    = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
#LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
#IgnorePkg   = catalyst catalyst-utils virtualbox-modules virtualbox-ose
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

#[chaox-stable]
#Server = http://repo.chaox.net/stable

#[chaox-broken]
#Server = http://repo.chaox.net/broken

[archiso-live]
#Server = http://arch-live.isawsome.net/testing/
Server = http://arch-live.isawsome.net/packages/

# Testing is disabled by default.  To enable, uncomment the following

# and they will be used before the default mirrors.

#[custom]
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

I can't see any porblems with it. I offline-installed archiso-live several days ago and today is the first day to connect to Internet.

Re: problem with pacman

I don't know why it was worng and then fine again.

However, after I opened pacman.conf and mirrorlist in leafpad and looked for a while to find if there's sth wrong, pacman -Sy again, and the problems resolved itself?!

funny.

Or because I'm not a expert user? anyway, i will learn more about arch. :-)

Re: problem with pacman

It could have been a temporary network or server problem with the archiso-live repo server.
