[arch-general] Not able to do system updates

[Will Siddall]

Alright, after looking up the mirror's list
(http://users.archlinux.de/~gerbra/mirrorcheck.html), I pointed to one
of the more recently updated mirrors and ran the update.  This worked.
 I can download and upgrade my system.

When I set my mirrors list back, and re-synchronize, everything is
back to normal.

I don't know what happened, or why it caused this, but it's back together again.

Thanks for the help.
Will
