Middle of arch installation; FTP ISO- Select packages step won't find any

[Redrazor39]

I'm in the select packages stage right now and no matter which mirror I use, the categories are either error or expected, rather than base, support, devel, or lib. I already partitioned my drive, so now I just have to do this. I've checked my Internet connection and the status shows 76% for wireless, which is what I normally have.

Even

ping -c 3 www.google.com
Worked.

This is really weird. I don't know what to do; please help!

Try unselecting packages, an retrying. I remember I had this same problem. A wise thing to do would be to make a list of the packages you unselected and install them when your Arch installation is complete.

Hope that helps.

Ok I unselected all the packages that say error or expected, then hit ok and tried again, but same problem :(

I have 80% wireless signal quality and can ping to websites, but select packages isn't working :(

Help!!! Someone!!! I'm still stuck!

Alright forget it. I'm just going to burn a regular cd instead of the FTP cd and do updates later

You're not specifying base, support, devel, or lib in the mirror address, are you? The Arch mirror directories have the major divisions of Core, Extra, and Community.
For example: ftp://locke.suu.edu/linux/dist/archlinux/ (ftp://locke.suu.edu/linux/dist/archlinux/)

That works too ;)
