Then the packages downloaded and installed successfully, but it was incredibly slow. What does this mean? Do I use broken mirror?

Re: Problem with mirror?

Welcome to Arch.

You got the package list from a server that was more up to date the a server that Pacman tried to download from. This happens now and again. If the problem persists, wait a little while and try again. It should resolve quickly.

Re: Problem with mirror?

It's due to syncing issues because of the big testing to current/extra move: http://www.archlinux.org/news/299/
I had the same problem last night. It should resolve by itself in a few days.
