i guess you are using a mirror which doesn't synchronize at all. check it here:

https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus

found a mirror that is up to date

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: pacman says my system is up to date - but it's not

i use these mirrors:

# Servers used by my pacman
# Russia:
Server = ftp://mirror.yandex.ru/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64

# US:
Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/x86_64

# Latvia
Server = http://archlinux.goodsoft.lv/$repo/os/x86_64

# Lithuania
Server = ftp://atviras.lt/archmirror/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://atviras.lt/archmirror/$repo/os/x86_64

Server = ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64

just added last line - still nothing

Use the mir.archlinux.fr (put it first) and try again.

pacman will use the first server from mirrorlist, it would try the next one if the connection to the first one is not successfully. To actually use the kernel.org mirror, you need to move it first and then for a sync with pacman -Syyu

well, that helped, but what's the trick? I use on my home machine those mirrors i've listed in my first post and it works fine...

600 megs - that's nice
