Running pacman has gotten very slow

When using pacman the download session has slowed to a crawl a slow crawl. Does anybody have any suggestions. I'm using pacman 3.

Edit the following files:
/etc/pacman.d/current
/etc/pacman.d/extra
/etc/pacman.d/community

Find the line with ftp.archlinux.org and comment them out for now. That site is having issues.
