Thanks for the link to the bug.
Just after I posted the problem, I tried reverting to the earlier pacman package "pacman-3.3.0-3-i686.pkg.tar.gz" , which works with no problems. Then upgraded to pacman-3.3.1-1, where the problem returned.
Currently I'm running the earlier version, and have temporarily added pacman to the IgnorePkg list.
Thanks for your quick reply.
That is bad news. The bug I fixed should exist since pacman 3.3.0 (since we moved to libfetch). It is quite strange that you cannot reproduce the problem with that.
Any chances you could try the patch I posted in the bug report ?
You will have to get pacman 3.3.1 PKGBUILD though abs, and edit the PKGBUILD to apply that patch.
Ok. Tried the patched pacman, but there are still problems. I have pacman setup to use 3 mirrors. First I tried to get hydrogen (3.24MB). It downloaded for a bit with the first mirror, then complained that it couldn't retrieve file. It then switched ro the second mirror, and continued the download for a bit, then too complained that it couldn't retrieve file. Switched to 3rd mirror, and amazingly concluded the download. Now to try for another package (ardour, with 2 deps) (debug output attached). Again it got the 2 deps by having use all 3 mirrors, and downloaded only 112.5 KB having used up all 3 mirrors. Mind you it's not creating 2GB partial files now. I also have the wireshark output for ardour and deps, and have posted it to you offlist. Hope that's ok. Nigel.
