I keep getting packages not founf for things like xorg, gnome and a handful of others. Have I picked the wrong time for a new install.

Also I looked on the Package search and they don't seem to be there either.

I'm on 64bit arch, but seems to be same on 32bit. Can someone post some workin mirrors for uk cause I just aint sure if mine are anygood AGAIN, pffft...

has xorg package been replaced with summut else?

If so the wiki beginners guide is outdated.

Just tried the new mirror. Ran pacman -Syy and then tried again. I keep gettin things like this.

pacman -S xorg
xorg package not found, searching for group...
:: group xorg (including ignored packages):
xf86-video-vesa xorg-docs xorg-fonts-100dpi xorg-fonts-75dpi
xorg-res-utils xorg-server xorg-server-utils xorg-twm xorg-utils
xorg-xinit xterm
:: Install whole content? [Y/n]

xorg is a package group, not a single package. pacman -S xorg installs the group, but you will not find in a package search.

The Beginners' Guide says "pacman -S xorg", which is correct. If you think details of the group should be included, make a request on the Discussion page.

I sware when I followed the same guide for 32bit I had none of this.

pacman doesn't lie.
xorg is not a package, but a package group.
You don't need all of them; e.g. here's what I have from the xorg group:

$ pacman -Qgq xorg
xorg-res-utils
xorg-server
xorg-server-utils
xorg-utils
xorg-xinit
xterm
