Pacman freezes when trying to download extra.db.tar.gz

pacman keeps on trying to update packages in extra forever and ever. When doing pacman -v --debug -Syu, it stays in the line
debug: connected to mir.archlinux.fr successfully
downloading extra.db.tar.gz...
After running "rankmirrors", I still have the same problem.
Do you have the same problem? Thank you.

can you wget files from mir.archlinux.fr ? and extra.db.tar.gz in particular ?
Did you try to uncomment XferCommand in /etc/pacman.conf ?

  • Upgraded to 10.5 on windows 7.  now itunes freezes when trying to download old apps.  any solutions?

    10.5 upgrade erased apps & books from ipad.  itunes freezes when trying to download from windows 7 computer.  Any suggestions?

    I am using Window Vista 32bit and have the same problem. After trying uninstall, reinstall, ccclean registry, over and over again and still cannot install itune 10.5. And finally concluded that this might be a registry corruption problem. The following steps is what I did to fix the registry isssue and get my itune 10.5 installed.
    - Run Window update - and check the history file, if you see some failures in previous updates, there is something wrong with the registry.
    - un-install all the apple related software (itune, safari, boujour, apple update, etc).
    - For Vista 32bit, go to the following link and run the script to clean up the registry. I am not sure if other WIndow OS will work or not.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error-8000FFFF
    - run the Fix-it script. you have to select the Agressive mode (even thou the pop up window advise not to do this)  in order to clean up the registry. When I try without checking the box, and it did not fix the problem.
    - reboot PC
    - Run window update. It will discover a lot of old updates that need to be installed (I suspect that the fix it script delete a lot of stuff in the registry and removed previous updates). I got 53 updates that need to install.
    - run the update and wait for a longtime (mine took ~2 hours).
    - reboot PC
    - run cccleaner
    - reboot PC
    - install itune 10.5
    Now it works. Hopefully other window OS has similar step to fix this. I can only say it works for me using window Vista 32bit. and so far, my PC works correctly.

  • Itunes keeps freezing when trying to download podcasts

    Ok before when i had 6.0 or something like that i was able to download 80 podcasts no problem now i ever since i updated to 7.0 my itunes would freeze everytime i download a podcast and since im subscribe to my podcasts itunes downloads them automatically. I have xp btw. Everytime i download a new software its the same problem, i tried to repair it reinstall it uninstalled it then installed it again, and i get the same thing. The only way itunes will work is if i turn off the internet which i prefer not to do because it might not turn off again. I tried to minimize the amount of podcasts that i download but it freezes anytime it wants. What is going on and how do i fix it?!

    I'm having a similar problem. I purchased a brand new HP Pavilion Media Center last week and installed the latest iTunes (7.3.2.6). Basic functionality was fine until I started setting up all my podcasts. If I subscribe to them too fast (ie - click subscribe on 6-10 of them within 10-15 seconds), the whole UI completely locks up and I have to hard boot the computer. Last night I was just updating/downloading a couple subscriptions while reading email and the whole computer locked up again. Very frustrating when it's a new computer!

  • Why does my computer freeze when trying to download pictures from my pentax digital camera?

    My computer works fine until I insert my camera download cord into the USB port.  Then it freezes.  This is a recent problem.  Last download of pictures was done successfully over the Xmas holidays.

    How much free space on the startup disk?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    When you have problems updating software, that's a good time to check the startup disk. Launch Disk Utility  /Applications/Utiliites
    Follow instructions here > Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

  • When trying to download apps on my new iPad I keep getting prompted to update my security questions for my safety. When I choose this option it freezes and won't load the questions, however, when I hit not now it won't let me download. What do I do?

    When trying to download apps on my new iPad I keep getting prompted to update my security questions for my safety. When I choose this option it freezes and won't load the questions, however, when I hit not now it won't let me download. What do I do?

    Reboot your iPad and then see if you can set the security questions.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Firefox freezes when trying to upload or download a file. (Antivirus all disabled doesn't help). IE works fine. Happened with v3 and v4. Any clues?

    Firefox locks when trying to upload or download any file, size irrelevant.
    I've disabled firewall and all antivirus apps to no effect.
    This happens with v3 and v4.
    IE works fine.

    '''Addendum:''' The freeze is also happening at random even without opening Firefox, it has a chance of happening when I click something. My computer has frozen when I: 1- clicked the "reveal desktop" button to minimize all windows; 2- Attempted to close a tab in Chrome; 3- Clicked "play" in a Youtube video that had been loaded and waiting for some time). It will also almost always freeze when I leave it idle for more than about 10 minutes.
    But it will '''guaranteedly''' freeze when trying to open FF, which doesn't happen with any other program.
    I think my computer is breaking down. :(

  • Movie 09 freezes when video is downloaded into new event. The software freezes trying to generate clips.

    imovie 09 freezes when video is downloaded into new event. The software freezes trying to generate clips.

    Hi
    My guess
    • free space on Start-Up Hard disk too low.
    • iMovie pref. file - needs to be trashed
    • the movie material to be Imported - are in a Video-Codec iMovie can not use
    Does any of these apply ?

  • ITunes Error when trying to download movie

    Hi,
    I get the same error over and over again when trying to download a purchased movie in iTunes (10.1.2) I was able to download the "Extras" and other content downloads from the iTunes Store, but the movie does not.
    I keep getting the message that an "internal server error occured" and the error code is Err = 500.
    Two sessions with iTunes customer support does not alleviate the problem.
    Please help.

    Okay... Don't ignore. Same problem occurs when using Windows 7 machine and the same Novatel modem. Ovation MC998D.
    Tried somewhere else and it worked. Must be the cellular modem. Any help would be appreciated.

  • ITunes (10.5.2.11) locks up when trying to download from iTunes U site Madingley Lectures.

    iTunes (10.5.2.11) locks up when trying to download from iTunes U site Madingley Lectures. The problem is repeatable on two different PCs running the same version of iTunes. I never previously had problems downloading presentations from this site. Any ideas?
    Both PCs are running Windows 7 fully up to date with patches.
    Paul

    Duncan,
    I successfully downloaded the latest edition by going to the Store area. It took around 10 minutes. iTunes behaved fine and indicated the progress of the download.
    However when I try to download another lecture via the iTunes U option within iTunes, the software freezes.
    There is no progress bar and I can't change focus within iTunes. The only option I have is to kill the process from the Task Manager.
    The lockup occurs almost immediately after I click on the Get button.
    In previous months the downloads worked fine.
    Thanks for your assistance

  • Itunes freezes when Genius is downloading

    As the subject says it freezes when genius starts downloading. I've search all of the posts and can't find anything. I have Win 7 64, version 9. Can you help me out here i am stuck! THANKS!

    Eric, I was having the same problem. The reason "turn off genius" is greyed out is because you cannot turn it off while it is trying to deliver results. Of course, if your "Genius" is like mine and never STOPS trying to deliver results, the option will ALWAYS be greyed out.
    The root of the problem is that you are likely signed into the iTunes store. Genius uses your iTunes account to store all of its information. All you need to do is sign out of the iTunes store, and this will deter Genius from being able to store results. After a few moments, you should notice that Genius has canceled its connection, THEN you should be able to turn genius off from the Store menu.
    Once this is done, you can sign back into the iTunes store without any problems. Hope this helps!

  • TS3258 I get error message -42408 when trying to download itunes update 11.0.2 and thus can not upgrade to latest version.  What should I do?

    I get error message -42408 when trying to download itunes update 11.0.2 and I therefore can not update to that latest version.  What can I do?

    Hey there davidgor2!
    I have found an article that should help you resolve this issue with updating your iTunes. The article can be found here:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    and the specific part of the article you will want to look at first is right here:
    "Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
    These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
    Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
    Remove the SC Info folder.
    If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Regards,
    Braden

  • Why do I keep getting an unknown error when trying to download an app from the app store on my iPod touch 4th generation when I put in the correct password?

    I keep getting the same unknown error has occurred when trying to download an app what is wrong?

    as an example.. from the sprint forum for a different device (unsure what device.. it's just not an iphone since no iphone or ios device has these settings -- ive seen this advice several times and I believe it's some form of android.. but not sure)
    advice from the carrier advisor --
    "Clear data in the Dialer and Dialer storage.... under manage Applications> All.
    That is Settings - Applications - Choose All to view All choices - then find Dialer and clear the Data. Repeat this for the Dialer Storage as well. I personally also deleted the message thread first from the text message window and my log history which is a menu item from your call screen."
    and another for you from a customer -- it is sprint again.. but this time a Samsung Epic
    "OMG ... if someone can't tell me how to fix this "9230: Message sent using invalid number of digits..." error, I'm going to scream.  My husband and I both have Sprint Epic phones and love them EXCEPT for this one problem! Help!"
    Maybe they should sue Samsung?

  • Creative Zen Vision 30Gb Stuck in Recovery Mode, Freezes when trying to deal with Firmware

    My Zen Vision is stuck in Recovery Mode. The PC recognizes it but it comes up as 50mb Storage Media. When you touch Reload Firmware or Format All, it freezes and you have to pull the battery out to shut it off. I don't know what to do. Charges fine, never said anything about HARDWARE issues, just can't get it to not freeze when trying to load firmware back onto it.

    I did the same thing, my unit was working perfectly.
    I just read that these players have a laptop 2.5 hard dri've installed in the unit. If this is true, the next chance I get, I will take my unit apart (40 gig nomad zen xtra) and see if I can reinstall the firmware directly. It's probably what they do at the repair sho
