There appears to be a temporary issue with the Manjaro server. However, occasional host downtime is to be expected, so the real problem is probably on the NM side that would better allow a series of URLs to be indicated to test for connectivity rather than a single one.

As the maintainer of Branch compare for Manjaro (āManjaro Packagesā in the status page), I can confirm that my site was under a DDOS attack yesterday
I suppose the attackers were also attacking other Manjaro infrastructure, mine being just one of them.

same here, trouble to reach the mirrors but it seems they are not the only ones affected. several sites iām usually using have trouble. startpage as my ordinary search-engine is 503, 504 and my mailserver is curious. weāll see whatās ongoing today.
As a tip, bookmark this siteā¦ 
Is It Down?
Good tip! It is back to normal now.
Thanks,

Yes. pacman-mirrors fails if the ping domain is down. It is strange because I originally created an explicit loop which would only fail after connecting to three different domains.
Somewhere along the way the first of these three domains has been altered to be http://ping.manjaro.org/pacmanmirrors and the loop would return False when the first domain was offline - so when ping.manjaro.org went dark it affected pacman-mirrors as wellā¦
I have fixed the bug - it will become available as pacman-mirrors v5.2.1ā¦
