Packages installed are not the same version as the arch repositories

Hi, i just installed arch and kde with it and realized that i don't get the latest version of KDE as listed under "packages" in this website.

I get KDE SC 4.4.x instead of 4.5.x

I also noted that a lot of packages listed in here throw a "cant find package", for example bluedevil. I tried pacman -Syy and still no good. Says KDE 4.4.x is the latest.

Mirror which you are using is out of sync for a long time. See Mirror Status page or you can use Pacman Mirrorlist Generator.

Thanks a lot, that did the trick...

Is there a way to automatically update mirrors to good ones without having to look into the mirror status?
