I read in Reddit that using reflector will refresh your mirror list and fix the problem but it didn't. i don't know how to fix it. what should i do? the same happened when i tried to download lutris.

Re: cannot download apps from terminal

1) use code tags and include the full command and output when you seek help here.
2) update your system (use `pacman -Syu <package>` instead of `pacman -S <package>`).

Please embed your terminal's output into [ code ] [ / code ] tags (without spaces). See BBCode cheatsheet: https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan
