Cannot install Pacman? (Arch Linux on PPC, Power Mac G4)

Hi

I'm trying to install PPC Arch on a Power Mac G4

Everything is fine until the point where I need to Install the packages.
It asks me to select another server (There's 3 available), because Pacman apparently cannot download? But the other two seems down.
The error the first one gives: "Error downloading pacman! Try another server."

There's:
1) ftp://ftp.archlinuxppc.org
2) ftp://xentac.net
3) ftp://ftp.archlinuxfr.org

When selecting 2, and 3 it says: "Error fetching package list from server".

Also "INIT: ld "c0" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes"

What do I do?

Thanks in advance

Excuse me the question. Is it possible to run Arch on PPC ? I thought its optimized for I686 and 64bit Adressbus

None of the ftp's you posted links to work here either. 1 & 3 timeout and 2 is dead.
Maybe its a temporary problem. You could try contacting one of the developers.

sounds to me like those servers aren't as well maintained as the i686/x86_64 ones -_-
