Mirrorlist errors?

Greetings to everyone,

/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

It seems that no matter what mirror I choose I always get file not found errors when downloading something using pacman -S.
I've yet to find a mirror or mirrorlist that wont generate any errors. Does anyone know why that is? Is this supposed to be this way? This is the first distro that I've encountered that has this problem with mirrors.

Do you get any errors when you run pacman -Syu

Pick a wroking and up to date mirror, put it _on top_ of the mirrorlist, pacman -Suy

Thanks everyone for the suggestions... Turns out "ftp" sources were the ones causing all the problems, "http" work just fine.
