Pacman sync time issues when behind router
It didn't used to be so, but now whenever try a "pacman -Syu", it takes two or three minutes to complete(it used to take less than 10 seconds). I'm not sure if it's related, but I recently began using a router(Ativa54G) to connect to the internet, so maybe there's something I need to change in/etc/hosts to reflect this?

Re: Pacman sync time issues when behind router
Have you tried using a different mirror?
If you know what your bandwidth should be, try an online speed test to check that you're getting approximately what you should be getting.
Also, if you want to speed up "pacman -Syu", take a look a powerpill (in my sig).

Re: Pacman sync time issues when behind router
It's the actual syncing of the lists that's taking a while(which I'm assuming an accelerator won't help).
EDIT: Okay, apparently the issue was that the ArchLinux ftp site was listed first in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. Also, I've narrowed down the rest of the problem to the US kdemod4 repos...
