The mirrorlist file that you see reference 3 times in the pacman.conf is telling pacman which mirror to use. IIRC, by default the mirror list points to the main arch site, but that site intentionally has bandwidth 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 :-)
