The mirrorlist file that you see reference 3 times in the pacman.conf is

limitations placed on it in order to encourage people's use of the
mirror sites. So edit the mirror list making a different mirror have
higher priority (i.e., appearing earlier in the file) and that should
solve the problem.
For example, my mirrorlist file lists a load of mirrors, all commented
out. Then at the end of the file I added:
Server = http://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://archlinux.unixheads.org/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://mirrors.easynews.com/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
HTH,

More than helps, that was exactly what I needed.
Cool. Glad you were able to get up and running quickly.
All said, pacman isn't that
much different than zypper on openSuSE, I just have to learn its nuances. (now
if I could just learn to not automatically type a k in pacman, I'd have it made ;-)
Why on earth would you ever have learned to spell pacman with a
"k"?!?!?!? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacman :-)
