[SOLVED] error: failed to synchronize all databases (unexpected error)

I run:

#sudo pacman -Syu

I get

Quote
error: failed retrieving file 'universe.db' from mirror1.artixlinux.org : Resolving timed out
after 10000 milliseconds
error: failed retrieving file 'omniverse.db' from omniverse.artixlinux.org : Resolving timed out after 15010 milliseconds

Also tried -syyu

Any ideas? My searching keeps coming up with Manjaro solutions that want me to use pacman-mirrors program, which I don't have

Sometimes a server is temporarily unavailable.
In this case, I only disable in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist (place a # at the beginning of the line).

The solution was shamefully simple: editing the mirrorlist filess was not working, but all I had to do was go into the pacman.conf and comment the broken mirrors out in there.
