Couldn't update packages - mirrorlist question

Was there something that happened to the pacman mirrors? The package says it's orphaned even though it's in the Core, which I just noticed today. For a few months every time I was checking for updates it would say there is nothing available. I refreshed my gpg keys and used reflector to update my mirrorlist. Now I see there is almost 4GB worth of updates on my minimal system.

Just wondering what happened.

Re: Couldn't update packages - mirrorlist question

properly the mirror you used went out of service or stopped syncing
although it shouldn't be required regular updating mirrorlist is a good idea
