Yes, it's like this:
[huber at archlinux ~]$ rankmirrors -t /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Querying servers, this may take some time...
    *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *
  Servers sorted by time (seconds):
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch : timeout
ftp://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch : unreachable
ftp://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/$arch : 
unreachable

Yes, pacman is working fine.

Should I file a rankmirrors bug?

Cheerio,
