Hi,
I wonder, why arch linux doesn't update for couple of weeks (pacman -Syy always said I am up-to-date) and now when I browse the site I can see that mirrorlist is completely changed. So I copy complete new mirror list, use rankmirrors and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist looks like this:

.I saw, that I am not alone and there were a few users with similar problem. For this moment is Arch linux useless, I really do not want to reinstall or change distro.
Can you help, pls?

Have you tried a http mirror? Pick one of those https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus

Yes, I tried every mirror on list, just like they are in order and there was always the same response

Now I see it - wtf is 'x86_84'? I think you mean 'x86_64'.
Fix that and try again.

OMG, thanks a lot, a regexp mistype

BTW, if you have pacman 3.4 you can set
Architecture = autoin the [options ] part of pacman.conf and use $arch variable in the servers' address:
Server = http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/archlinux/$repo/os/$archOffline
BTW, how can I find out that mirrors are changed, do I must check archlinux.org periodically? I thought that will be some info about it in system or I just overslept something?

The package is called pacman-mirrorlist, if that's what you're asking.
Do you have any .pacnew / .pacsave files on your system?

Well, after resolving this problem I cannot say, because I for "lucidity" everything remove and rewrite. So I must for future checking mirrorlist.pacnew, OK. But still, that rankmirrors gives me strange results, a very few mirrors from list are functional regardless ftp/http.

Yeah, it's my real name. I'm a guy from Poland, but there are many similar girls' names in many languages: Carol, Karla etc.
My name in German is Karl, like Karl Marx :-)

Oh, my bad, yeah, I see now, google says its polish or slovak, if you have been slovak we could communicate česky a slovensky :-P, because I have very bad english :-(
Anyway, thx again
