This is my first installation of Arch. I followed the begginers guide and got the base system installed. Then I started in on downloading python in order to run the server ranking script, but every package I try to download using pacman gives me this error:
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db..tar.gz from (name of server here) : Transient resolver failure
for every server in my mirror list.

Looks like you didn't setup your network properly.
Edit /etc/rc.conf. Chances are you're using a DHCP server to get your IP address, so change that eth0 line to be eth0="dhcp".

I set eth0="dhcp" and it still did not work. The same error results when I try to download packages.

Try changing your 'XferCommand' in pacman.conf to use wget (the line is already there, just uncomment it)
If that still doesn't work, what is the output of the following commands?
ifconfig
route -n
cat /etc/resolv.conf

A couple other possibilities to check would be to make sure that your HOSTNAME="yourhost" equals the host specified in /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost yourhost
Also, if your PC has more than one ethernet port, like an onboard AND a pci card, (output of lspci | grep Ethernet) Arch may have assigned the unused port the designation of eth0
Both of these are long shots, but they have both tripped me up in past installs on various machines.

Make sure your ethernet port is plugged in and also try leaving eth0 as static but run 'sudo dhcpcd eth0' instead. If it still doesn't work, then the output would be helpful.
