[SOLVED] Reflector cannot retrieve mirror data

Hey guys,

I've had a look around but I can't seem to find much on this. When running

sudo reflector --verbose -l 5 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.bak

I'm getting

error: failed to retrieve mirror data: <urlopen error [Errno 111] Connection refused>

Pacman/yaourt seems to run fine. Problem just started occurring a couple of days ago, not sure what made it stop working. Also occurs on another computer, fresh install.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [SOLVED] Reflector cannot retrieve mirror data

Just tried it and it worked here.
There have been some website issues, and reflector uses the website's mirror status page, so that might be/have been the problem.

Try it again as I think the website issue has only just been resolved.

You are correct, it is now working on both of my computers, thank you.
