Pacman gives an error "error: failed rerrieving file "code.db" from mirror.osbeck.com", what should I do?

Question

linux

Hello. I decided to install Linux Arch next to Windows 11. I follow these instructions
and Arch booted up, everything is fine. Windows is alive. I wanted to install the KDE graphical shell according to this instruction , but there is an error with the pacman command. A bunch of lines, and almost the same error that is in the title. And also, os-prober did not detect Windows 11, for me, this is certainly not a huge problem, you can install Windows in UEFI. I would also like to know what to do with it.

error: failed rerrieving file "code.db" from mirror.osbeck.com

you would check for errors, there the campaign should sound something like this

error: failed retrieving file core.db from mirror.osbeck.com

it is impossible to download the core.db database file ( rep core) from the mirror.osbeck.com
server, that is, at the time of updating the repositories from the server, you had no connection with the specified server, and this is either a problem with the Internet or a problem in accessing this particular server
the mirror.osbeck.com server itself is located in Sweden, you can look at the list of available servers on the official site https://archlinux.org/mirrors/status/#successful
and if you want even generate https://archlinux.org/mirrorlist/
select the one to which there is trouble-free access and add it to the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file
(do not forget to uncomment the one you need if you generated it through the site)
then update the database
sudo pacman -Syy
well, or immediately with the update of the database, update the installed packages themselves in the system:
sudo pacman -Syyu
