[SOLVED]Problem when trying to install from "extra" reps

Well, ive recently installed arch... finally got mi wifi working... ping to google works... already did "pacman -Syu", all fine so far... now im trying to install some packages from extra (lynx and xf86-input-synaptics for my dell 11z touchpad), but im geting a "conection time expired" error... for every mirror i try to connect... funny thing is that when i use same mirrors for core it works fine... but for packages that are on extra just cant download em..., my pacman.conf looks like:

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[comunity-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[comunity]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Im behind a proxy, already did the "export http_proxy" and "ftp_proxy" thing (actualy i can download things that are in "core")... well... any idea? Thnx!

EDIT: since im newbie user, and this might be a nob question, should this go on newbie corner?

Re: [SOLVED]Problem when trying to install from "extra" reps

Don't know about the proxy, but it'd be interesting which mirrors are listed in your mirrorlist. I found this to be dead useful for keeping my mirrors up-to-date. The command listed sifts through all mirrors and puts the five most up-to-date and fastest in your mirrorlist.

Now cron it and your mirrors are always on top of things.

Re: [SOLVED]Problem when trying to install from "extra" reps

Hehe, catch 22.

Check your mirrors manually, then. There is a wiki page called mirrors. Best place to start.

Re: [SOLVED]Problem when trying to install from "extra" reps

There's some mirrors which only mirror certain repos (Malaysia has one such which only mirros the ISOs and [core]).

Re: [SOLVED]Problem when trying to install from "extra" reps

You can install them manually until you figure out what went wrong http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort … =&limit=50 (pick the $arch you need - 32 or 64 bit - and click 'Download from mirror' link on the right)

Good mirrors, this way: http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/

Yeah... if i cant fix it today or untill tomorrow ill try downloading em to a usb and then installing it... By the way, heres my pacman.conf and my mirrorlist... just in case somethings wrong:

pacman.conf

#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir     = /
#DBPath      = /var/lib/pacman/
#CacheDir    = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
#LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
# If upgrades are available for these packages they will be asked for first
SyncFirst   = pacman
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl -C - %u > %o
#CleanMethod = KeepInstalled
Architecture = auto

# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
#IgnorePkg   =
#IgnoreGroup =

#NoUpgrade   =
#NoExtract   =

# Misc options (all disabled by default)
#UseSyslog
#ShowSize
#UseDelta
#TotalDownload

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[community-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

And don't forget: Whenever you change your mirrorlist you need to do a pacman -Syy to read in the new repos.
