[SOLVED] Package db sync 404

When doing a system upgrade (pacman -Syu), I'm getting a "failed retrieving file 'repo.db' from mirror: The requested URL returned 404" but when I visit the mirror in a browser at the URL listed with `Server = ...`, I can see the `repo.db` and `repo.db.sig` files right there. Is there any way I can see *exactly* which URL it tried to fetch or anything like that?

Let me know if you need pastebins of my config, mirrorlist, terminal output, etc.
Thanks!

That did the trick. Turns out the mirror I was using moved the root of the repository to some subdirectory (and pacman was still trying to fetch from the old URL). Updated my config and now it's humming away happily.

Thanks!
