Any ideas folks?

I would change XferCommand in pacman.conf to try to localize the problem.
I doubt that it matters, but I would also comment out all the repos and then test each one individually just in case there is some weird sequential error.

okayyyy... wtf pancakes.

I commented all repositories, except for core, extra and community and ran `pacman -Syu` which worked fine. I uncommented the other respositories and ran `pacman Syu` again. Everything worked fine again. Good.

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Now I'm confused.

Removing my other repos apart from core, extra, and community results in the same errors when I try and install qingy.

What happens if you move [stable-32] and [stable-any] to the end of the list?

What about if you use wget or some other download manager? It might even be worth writing a little script to record the urls to see what pacman is passing it, e.g.

#!/bin/bash
echo -e "url: $1\nout: $2\n\n" >>/path/to/some/file
exit 1

and then in pacman.conf

XferCommand = /path/to/previous/script %u %o

That's untested, but I think it should show you what the downloader is seeing.

you could also try using pacman's --debug option to get more info

Problem found... My proxy apparently had some subtle problems after a few power failures over the weekend. Wiping the proxy cache and restarting squid seems to have fixed. Sorry for wasting everyone's time, but thanks for the input!
