Can't download updated package databases from nethat.com

This is something of an odd problem.

I have two machines running Arch - my desktop and a server.  Both are using the exact same /etc/pacman.d/ files.  When I run pacman -Syu on my desktop, it downloads the package dbs and updates no problem.  When I run pacman -Syu (through putty) on my server, however, I get the following error for each repository:

error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from ftp.nethat.com : Not logged in

Then pacman falls back onto other mirrors.  Like I said, I don't get these errors on my desktop which is using the exact same pacman.d files.  Any idea what might be the problem?

It doesn't work either when you try to access this server using wget or any other ftp clients?

I figured out the problem.  You can't download two files from nethat's repo at once.  I guess I was trying to download updates on both machines at the same time and it was giving me errors.

Thanks for the reply smile
