pacman crashes when downloading more than one package using proxy. When I order to update every package separately everything goes ok.

I have the exact same problem...

For a quick fix:
- Edit /etc/pacman.conf
- Uncomment the line "XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u"

If you've correctly set the environment variables for your proxy (ftp_proxy, http_proxy, ...) it'll work again.
