Recommendations for Arch mirrors

I've been playing with Arch and pacman and I keep coming across incomplete mirrors so that I have to manually download the missing package and install it locally and then procede with pacman -S SOMEPACKAGE. Can someone point me to a good mirror, preferably for the U.S.?

Yes. Is this one of those RTFM things? I'm used to Slackware and slackpkg where you only uncomment a single mirror. BTW, I was looking at your nflux screenshots, they looked nice.

No clue outside of the installer options.

You can use "rankmirrors" to select the best repo mirrors:
