[SOLVED]pacman can't download packages

doing as usual:

#pacman -S openbox

but then see:

Re: [SOLVED]pacman can't download packages

The servers seem to be syncing right now. Wait for a few hours and then retry.

ftp.archlinux.org is a mirror, yes.

Re: [SOLVED]pacman can't download packages

but it is really strange that when i uncommented "http://ftp.archlinux.org..."  in mirrorlist it is the same error
so what destination for all that mirrors are?

and when I download package from web-interface http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/openbox/ it successfuly downloaded from mirrors.kernel.org but pacman can't...

I'm completely dumb, or the universe had hell changed

As you see, my english is stupid.

Re: [SOLVED]pacman can't download packages

http://ftp.archlinux.org i think is redirected to some page. you need to use ftp://ftp.archlinux.org

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: [SOLVED]pacman can't download packages

the download from package details is using mirrors.kernel.org and i think that is fully synced, compared with ftp.archlinux.org which is partially synced

Re: [SOLVED]pacman can't download packages

It is on the master server.  Time will fix all.

And mirrors.kernel.org is a collection of servers and you get a different server depending on where you are based.  Some may be synced and others not.

Re: [SOLVED]pacman can't download packages

Hello,

I have the very same problem, pacman can't find any Community packages, whatever the mirror I chose.

Time will fix all.

I have this since yesterday !!

Re: [SOLVED]pacman can't download packages

Maybe you can pick it manually. Would that work?

Yes, that is what I do, I download the .xz archive from the web, then pacman -U this file.
But that's no solution...
