[SOLVED] Is there a way to disable the 10s timeout in pacman?
I keep hitting this timeout because of some silly corporate network shenanigans. However, if I manually download the file from the mirror then it (eventually) completes. I don't mind typing 'pacman -Syu' and then waiting a few extra minutes for the update to go through. I just hate having to manually download each file.
Could this maybe be an option in pacman.conf?

You could use wget or something like this with pacman. Just look into the manpages or .conf file. I do this when I'm in my coorporate network because of proxy servers.

man pacman.conf
Look for XferCommand

I tried that (and I did read the manpage before posting), but even using wget or curl it still seems to time out. Am I maybe doing something wrong?

The command line options for wget/curl (try aria2c as well) should enable you to specify a timeout.

That worked. I used wget -O %o %u and it now succeeds.
