[solved] error: core.db appears to be truncated: 1249/0 bytes

Hi arch'ers,

i run arch linux on my laptop for some time now and are very satisfied.
And now try to install it on my desktop pc on a dedicated harddisk.

After booting x86_64 live-cd (newest), partitioning, create filesystems + mounting for  every mirror|url from the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist i get this:
example
  "debug: url: http://mirror.de.leaseweb.net/archlinux … 64/core.db "
  "debug: maxsize: 26214400"
  "debug: opend tempfile for download: /var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db.part (wb)"
  "downloading core.db..."
  "debug: curl returned error 0 from transfer"
  "debug: response code 200"
  "error: core.db appears to be truncated: 1249/0 bytes"

i don't have any files under /var/lib/pacman/sync and it's writeable.

i don't think it's related with https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23803 because it's the same for all urls in the mirrorlist.
Network is up and running

any hints?

It had something to do with our network / internet access here. I had to register first.
After that, all downloads worked.

sorry for bothering you
