Arch/Pacman FTP ports

Does anyone know what ports you need to have open in the outbound direction when using pacman.

For example - on my adsl router (with builtin firewall) I typically drop all outbound conections in combination with explicitly allowing connections out to ports 20, 21, 53, 80, 443, 873 etc etc.....

Now - I can't get pacman to connect out using this configuration so I've had to temporarily allow all outbound connections through my rouiters firewall while configuring Arch and sure enough pacman now connects out and I can download arch packages.

So am just wondering, does Arch/Pacman use any "strange" ftp ports by any freak chance- not sure whether it's an issue with the active/passive thing or what - anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Re: Arch/Pacman FTP ports

You can also use wget to download the packages instead of pacman's internal downloader.  You need to uncomment the " XferCommand"  line in /etc/pacman.conf
It might work in your case.
