Pacman repository problems

So I noticed that pacman 2.6.1 allows for HTTP servers.

This is great, as I wanted to run my own repository (for personal packages).

Well I stuck the address in the pacman.conf as: Server = http://www.freewebs.com/frink36

and it says it fails to download the appropriate db.tar.gz file. I know its there, as I can download it from other places.

Is there something special I have to do? Ive tried removing the "www.".

Also, I dont have any of the actual packages uploaded (I wanted to test first), do I have to have all the packages uploaded for it to work?

Re: Pacman repository problems

nevermind, It was a problem w/ freewebs.com

Anyone have a good free place to host that has lots of space and no file upload limit?
