Ensure that the server download speed listed at the end of any unhashed server address line is removed - including the dots ('...') -, otherwise pacman will think that it is part of the actual internet address. In addition, ensure that any unhashed server address used begins with 'Server =', otherwise pacman will not know what the address is for. In addition, if you had previously copied and pasted one or more server addresses, or had manually typed them in, also ensure that what's listed is both complete and correct. A single missing or incorrect character will be enough to cause an error.

{{tip|If you had tried to use any of the server addresses contained in the table at the top of the mirrorlist by unhashing them, a much simpler solution is just to replace the hashes and use the servers listed for you at the bottom. The fastest servers will have been automatically chosen, anyway.}}
