Hi there. I am a newbie in Garuda Linux Community. I recently installed the OS and tried to to update the system via Setup-Assistant. I am encountering the same problem again and again in the "Alacritty@Garuda", that 'blackarch.db failed to download', and the system doesn't get updated thereafter. Can anybody tell me how to fix this? I have Garuda KDE Dr460nized Edition.
Hi there, welcome!
Please provide more precise teminal information as text.
Anyway, looks similar to this one:
Although not yet solved, please try:
sudo micro /etc/pacman.d/blackarch-mirrorlist
comment the line with mirrors.fossho.st (I assume this is appearing in your error), save & exit and try again.
Edit: the proposed solution has just been confirmed as working in the other thread.

I am really sorry. But I didn’t quite get your steps. I copy-pasted the line:
sudo micro /etc/pacman.d/blackarch-mirrorlist
in the Konsole, and then its showing a long list of different countries with their servers. Can you please explain a little more in detail? 
btw, here is the full terminal info:

Press enter to continue
You should find the server I mentioned above and add a # before.
Also give a look to the list and make sure that other servers are without the #

Someone who thinks he has to use blackarch should know how to do it.
