So I just tried a new install, it works and even got updated the first time. Left it over the weekend, now that I'm back on it (still quite bare, nothing much set up yet) I can't seem to get pacman connected to the mirrors. This machine is a university machine and needs to connect via proxy.name_of_uni.edu.my:8080, so I've set http_proxy and ftp_proxy to the right values. Also substituted in the actual IP addresses with the same results. What happens is that all the mirrors get the following (with wget uncommented in pacman.conf, similar results even when not using wget) Connecting to mirrors.kernel.org|149.20.4.71|:80... failed: Connection timed out. Ironically, when I try to wget the db file itself through wget http://mirrrors.kernel.org/archlinux/testing/os/i686/testing.db it downloads fine.... Any idea what the problem could be?
