Thats 3 random mirrors … you may want to use something like

sudo pacman-mirrors -g

Or -f with a larger number or f0 for global ranking.

You also always want to do a refresh after touching mirrors:

sudo pacman -Syyu

[Tribble]

Working as well. Shouldn’t the mirrors thing be done automatically without user intervention or have some pacman or pamac flag to request for it? It requires quite a lot of knowledge to just update/upgrade the system, because even as an advanced user myself didn’t expect to must know such thing.

[Strit]

You where just unlucky to b e connected to a mirror that is no longer functional.

The mirrors will be re-ranked every week or so, to catch most of these, but a situation like yours can still happen if it’s in an unlucky time.

Also switched brand from stable to testing.
