I'm currently trying to set up arch linux on a computer with a terrible wifi connection. If the connection ever goes out while I'm downloading packages, it will skip that package and move onto the next one, never returning to try to download that package again. Is there any way to stop pacman from skipping over the packages that were downloading when the wifi went out?

Hello jm4n1015, welcome to the forums
Edit /etc/pacman.conf and uncomment the wget XferCommand. This will use wget to download packages which auto-resumes failed downloads.
If this still misses packages, just re-run the pacstrap command to try the failed downloads again.
