pacman freezes when trying to download extra.db.tar.gz

pacman keeps on trying to update packages in extra forever and ever. When doing pacman -v --debug -Syu, it stays in the line

[...]
debug: connected to mir.archlinux.fr successfully
downloading extra.db.tar.gz...

After running "rankmirrors", I still have the same problem.

Do you have the same problem? Thank you.

Re: pacman freezes when trying to download extra.db.tar.gz

can you wget files from mir.archlinux.fr ? and extra.db.tar.gz in particular ?
Did you try to uncomment XferCommand in /etc/pacman.conf ?

Next day it worked without tweaking anything. Sorry for bothering, and thank you for your reply.
