error: anonymous login failed

I get this error all the time. Can I fix it in some way? It does not seem to be hurting anything, but it bothers me.

[root@arch1 joe]# pacman -Suy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
:: current is up to date
error: anonymous login failed

Thanks.

You're probably using the nethat mirror.  Switch to another mirror or wait until it get fixed.

Yes, that was it. I changed the mirror and the error went away. It was a very small thing, but it bugged me.
Thank you.
