Tried updating manjaro, but got this message instead

[dannb@DannB-Manjaro ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu
[sudo] password for dannb:
:: Synchronizing package databases…
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
multilib is up to date

try running sudo pacman-mirrors --geoip

This will set your mirrors to the closest and fastest based on rough geo location. Hopefully a different mirror so you can test against that.
