Re: community not working

retry or try another server.

btw i wouldnt recommend using qtorrent, even though its decent as a client but lacks too many of todays features
transmission if u want gui or rtorrent seem to be the best choices..

Re: community not working

Look in /etc/pacman.d/ each file there is for each repo.  Put the mirrors you want to use at the top.

Check out this wiki page for a list of mirrors -> http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mirror
