everytime I try to download a file from pacman or yaourt, I get this:

error: failed retrieving file 'whateverfileimdownloading.tar.gz' from mirrors.gigenet.com : Not Found

I'm trying to install mathmap in gimp 2.6, but I this happens and mathmap doesn't seem to install:

Try with another mirror.

Re: error: failed retrieving file

I think, you should change the server

(open the file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist with i.e. nano and put # infront of Server = http://mirrors.gigenet.com/archlinux/$repo/os/i686 and remove the # infront of another server)

On http://mirrors.gigenet.com/, there is no (more?) a directory for arch.

Re: error: failed retrieving file

If you examine the output you posted more thoroughly, you will see that the packages that are not found on gigenet are retrieved successfully from the next available mirror, so your problem is the truncated qt3 libs, not the missing packages.

Download and reinstall qt3.

Re: error: failed retrieving file

Yeah i noticed Giganet was down too.  I THINK it was up last week... but may be wrong about that.


PLEASE read and try to FIX/FILE BUGS instead of assuming other have/will.
