[SOLVED] pacstrap error at install

I was installing arch linux inside a vm, and at first I got the classic invalid signature issue at pacstrap /mnt *my files*. But I fixed it by reinstalling archlinux-keyring and then refreshing with pacman-key --refresh. But now while running pacstrap /mnt base base-devel linux linux-firmware vim, at the end of the process I get an error saying: "error: failed retrieving file 'p11-kit-0.24.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig' from archlinux.thaller.ws :
warning: failed to retrieve some files
error: failed to commit transaction (download library error)
Errors occured, no packages were upgraded.
==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root

What do I do to fix this? This is my first install attempt, so please do not get TOO technical. Thank you.

Is this actively reproducible? Switch your top mirrors around a bit: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mirror … ng_mirrors

Are you saying the connection could have timed out?

That's what I'm saying. simply sounds like a temporary networking issue to me.
