Broken mirrors might not send the Content-Length header pacman uses to track this, try to change your top mirrors.

Thanks, fixed it by installing linux-header
I think I skipped it when installing the base system.

That makes zero sense as a solution!

Re: Pacman progress bar doesn't move.

linux-headers is for compiling kernel modules and has absolutely no relation to pacman whatsoever. If you changed your mirror then that will have fixed the issue. If you consider this solved please mark the thread as such by prepending [SOLVED] or so to the title by editing the first post.
