Hi Erik,
Can you post a copy of the output? I'm using reflector and rankmirrors, and I get this: # 2010-08-12 15:33 # generated by reflector # ranked by rankmirrors Server = ftp://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Server = ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://archlinux.c3sl.ufpr.br/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://mirror.yandex.ru/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Server = http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/linux/distributions/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
Yes, it's like this: [huber@archlinux ~]$ rankmirrors -t /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist Querying servers, this may take some time... * * * * * * * * Servers sorted by time (seconds): ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch : timeout ftp://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch : unreachableftp://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/$arch : unreachable ftp://ftp.spline.inf.fu-berlin.de/mirrors/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch : unreachable

http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch : unreachable
These are obviously not reachable URLs, but pacman fills in $repo and $arch from pacman.conf so it's working just fine for me.
Yes, pacman is working fine. Should I file a rankmirrors bug? Cheerio, Mathias
