When I tried to install xorg-server, pacman couldn't find it, and running pacman -Ss didn't return any results.
I've also tried to run pacman -Syy multiple times, but every time it says that the package databases it downloads are only 2.2K in size.
I also double checked to make sure I was connected to the internet, and everything there was fine, but pacman still can't seem to find any packages.
Any ideas?

What mirror are you using?
#binarii @ irc.binarii.net
Matrix Server: https://matrix.binarii.net

Use an up-to-date mirror.

I've tried several different mirrors, even using the same ones that I'm using on a different computer that are working properly.
These are the mirrors I'm currently using:
http://gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
http://mirrors1.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
http://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
http://mirrors.rutgers.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

have you enabled the repositories in pacman.conf, although by default the extra and core should be enabled. But it might be worth checking.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Yes, I have core, extra, community, and multilib uncommented.

Sounds like you're not getting what you think. Are you behind a proxy? I bet if you look at the contents of /var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db it isn't going to be the actual database, as our databases are quite a bit larger:
$ ll /var/lib/pacman/sync/
total 1.4M
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 455K Sep 22 08:31 community.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 56K Sep 19 07:04 core.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 823K Sep 21 17:10 extra.db

Pastebin the output of pacman -Syy --debug .

toofishes, you were right. I was having problems connecting to the internet on my University's network.
Thanks for all of your help!
