Description:
When trying to install Arch Linux with pacstrap, it keeps failing to download the extra repository DB file from the mirrors. Tried on older Arch Linux installation (on another machine) and I get the same errors. At some points it appears like it was successful, but trying to use pacman just shows : error: could not open file /mnt/var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db: Unrecognized archive format Steps to reproduce: > pacman -Sy :: Synchronizing package databases... core 126.8 KiB 1713K/s 00:00 [#############################################################################] 100% error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db' from mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca : Operation too slow.

FS#55254you probably need to update your mirrors from https://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/The fact that you have four mirrors all displaying the same errors, indicates it is almost certainly an error with your internet connection.
The unrecognized format error is useless, please inspect the contents of the file and tell us what it actually is. ;)
`less` and `file` are both useful here.
