All,I don't know if this is a know problem or if I'm just lucky, but checking the mirror status from the archlinux.org main page show more than 50% of the mirrors without any sync status.
Trying an update, I just got a 503 reply for an http mirror. Changed to one showing it was syncing -- no issue.
