[solved] Unable to sync multiple mirrors

As of the last day or so, I am unable to sync with any US mirrors:

# pacman -Syy

Here is my mirrorlist:

Server = http://mirror.umoss.org/archlinux/$repo/os/@carch@
Server = ftp://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/@carch@
Server = ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/archlinux/$repo/os/@carch@
Server = http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/archlinux/$repo/os/@carch@
Server = http://archlinux.linuxfreedom.com/$repo/os/@carch@
Server = http://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/@carch@
Server = ftp://locke.suu.edu/linux/dist/archlinux/$repo/os/@carch@
Server = http://lug.mtu.edu/archlinux/ftpfull/$repo/os/@carch@
Server = ftp://mirrors.xmission.com/archlinux/$repo/os/@carch@
Server = http://mirrors.xmission.com/archlinux/$repo/os/@carch@

I can clearly see the core.db.tar.gz on several of the mirrors, for example http://mirror.umoss.org/archlinux/core/os/i686/

Is anyone else seeing this or have any ideas?

Re: [solved] Unable to sync multiple mirrors

The issue is the @carch@ appended to the end of your mirrorlist file. It should be an actual arch -- i686 or x86_64.

Re: [solved] Unable to sync multiple mirrors

Ah, so it is.  I had copied the mirrorlist from the pacman-mirror package in abs while troubleshooting and didn't notice that.  Thanks!
