[SOLVED] Requested Range Not Satisfiable

$ LANG=C sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db.tar.gz' from mirrors.kernel.org : Requested Range Not Satisfiable
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db.tar.gz' from ftp5.gwdg.de : Requested Range Not Satisfiable
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db.tar.gz' from mirror.selfnet.de : Requested Range Not Satisfiable
error: failed to update extra (Requested Range Not Satisfiable)
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do

Anyone else ever had that error? A few hours ago, [community] also "failed retrieving community.db.tar.gz"...
Does someone know how to deal with this?

Just to be sure, what version of pacman are you running?

I think "failed retrieving community.db.tar.gz" is an unrelated error. Do you have you mirrorlist up to date?

Re: [SOLVED] Requested Range Not Satisfiable

Funny. I _did_ search for "Requested Range Not Satisfiable" via BBS Search and found a whole bunch of unrelated threads, so I assumed there was some kind of error with the search engine (because I assumed searching for something in quotes searches just for that peticular string in quotes, not just the single words of which it consists) and created this one...

This was the answer.
Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Requested Range Not Satisfiable

I use Google for such searches

[karol@black ~]$ type bbs
bbs is a function
bbs () 
{ 
    ${BROWSER} "http://www.google.pl/search?q=site%3Abbs.archlinux.org $*"
}
[karol@black ~]$ bbs Requested Range Not Satisfiable

This is how I got all those threads :-)
