Pacman is mess up ... [solved]

Pacman and his frontends give theses errors : aqpm + download at 3k/sec + pacman is locked
+ pacman sometimes bug, stop and freeze + libalpm

Most errors are linked to when it freezes ...

Most important errors

1- slow download
2- freezing

Note: Seem a temporary bug, one restart have done the trick ...

The main mirror is throttled, so any speed-related issues are probably due to that. Stalling could be caused by a poor connection. What mirror are you using?

nope, use mirrorcheck http://users.archlinux.de/~gerbra/mirrorcheck.html and mirror stats http://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus for a good mirror

That helps, but you should also move the mirrors that work best for you to the top of the list.
