Re: I cant sync pacman

Have you tried any http mirrors? Can you make a normal connection to any ftp server e.g. ftp://ftp.archlinux.org in Firefox?

Re: I cant sync pacman

the same thing happens to me, and it worked fine yesterday:

root:/$ pacman -Sy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
connect: Connection refused
error: cannot connect to ftp.archlinux.org

and i can connect to ftp.archlinux.org using my browser with no problems

i tried using a http mirror and it works, but all the other ftp mirrors don't...  :shock:  what's happening?
