Belnet mirror users - path has changed, please read

The path to the Archlinux mirror on the Belnet server has changed to

http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/archlinux.org/

Anyone who intends to use this mirror should edit /etc/pacman.d/* accordingly.

I am awaiting clarification from Belnet as to whether this change is permanent or not.

Update: Belnet have now reinstated the original path i.e.

http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/archlinux/

as used in /etc/pacman.d/* by default.

Thanks for the clarification, I did have some trouble the last few days but the mirror is functioning again today.

Yes. However, the reinstatement of packages/archlinux means no adjustment is required in pacman's default mirror files.

They're going funky again, I get time outs all the time.

error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from ftp.belnet.be : Connection timed out
