error: failed retrieving file '*package*' from *repo* : 404

So i was trying to install dependencies for hyprland after installing arch, i do a 'Yay -Sy *dependencies*' and at a certain point it try to install meson libraries like python-typing_extensions. its taking 15s  for such a tiny packet and i got this error : https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/4517 *not mine just the same error* btw i have connected cabled internet and no weird logs, so it is downstream or anything else that i might did wrong ?

you only have to read the first paragraph.
so it's downstream. try a different mirror.

Why I run Arch? To "BTW I run Arch" the guy one grade younger.
And to let my siblings and cousins laugh at Arsch Linux...

... anything else that i might did wrong ?

- You used yay.
- You did a partial upgrade
- And as a wild guess, you may not have selected good mirrors
