Solve pacman resolving

I have searched google, the wiki and this forum and haven't reallly come up with an answer that has worked, maybe I am doing it wrong.

Anyways pacman takes exactly 30 seconds to resolve on every file.  Whether it be a repo or a single package it's downloading.  I have double/triple checked my /etc/hosts to my /etc/rc.conf.  I have blacklisted net-pf-10 in my rc.conf.  The browser works fine and on other distros and package managers I get acceptable performance.  I have two seperate machines that duplicating the same results they both have this slow config.

So what did I do wrong?

Re: Solve pacman resolving

There is a longish thread about this and a bug report if I remember correctly.
Some ideas:
- change mirror
- put mirror ip in hosts.conf
- use a wrapper with segmented/parallel download capability

Changed to several mirrors using at first rank mirror and then mirrorlist generated online.  No luck same results.  The wrapper produced the same results as well.  I will trying putting the ip in the hosts.conf in a little bit.

Re: Solve pacman resolving

try using wget to see if it helps, uncomment this line in /etc/pacman.conf:

XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u

Hangs at resolving the ftp server for ~15 seconds.

I guess that is better...

No difference in performance.  Same amount of time.
