Do I have to change to a different mirror? What do I need to do?
Offline

I added a mirror, but it still fails to install.
here's my pacman.conf
[core]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Server= ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/archlinux/
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Server= ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/archlinux/
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Server= ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/archlinux/
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
# An example of a custom package repository. See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs
[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64
what is missing?

You shouldn't specify mirrors in /etc/pacman.conf, but uncomment them in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

So not having any listed on the pacman.conf file is correct. I'll take that mirror address out and go to pacman.d/mirrorlist and do as you said.
Do I have to run a command to refresh after making the changes?
Thanks

pacman -Syyu && pacman -S compiz-fusion

I ran the command. Thanks.
...but when I try to run compiz the windows freeze up. Seems like Compiz has problems. Maybe I should uninstall the forget Compiz?

You are still using the same mirror as before..

I look at the mirrorlist and the only one not remmed out is the waterloo server. what am I doing wrong?

OK, now I saw the easynews mirror at the top of the file. I remmed it out.
Ran the update again with not fails.

How do I remove it? What causes this?
Offline
I just tried removing Compiz-fusion with Shaman and it did remove all the parts. I wonder why I couldn't remove in the terminal with #pacman -R compiz-fusion ?
I'll try Compiz in Arch another day.

pacman -Rd compiz-fusion

pacman -Rs compiz-fusion
might be safer.
-Rd ignores dependencies. -Rs will remove all dependencies installed along with the package.

Not sure if your command will work since compiz-fusion is a group and pacman is complaining that "foo: requires compiz-core>=0.8.2".

Thanks, I'll keep those commands in mind for future use. With Shaman I removed all compiz listings.
