I commented out mirror.abscission.net in my /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist since so far as I can tell that server runs too slow and causes yaourt to error out on it persistently. I'm using servers in the United States so this

I find using reflector to sort by speed, then latest updated, tends to work just fine.
It'd definitely filter out any unresponsive servers. -- vixsomnis
I would use rankmirrors as well, this is the mirrorgen script I use: reflector -c "United States" --sort age --protocol http --save /tmp/mirrorgen && rankmirrors -v -n 5 /tmp/mirrorgen | sudo tee /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist -- Eli Schwartz
