I did the same like you did , but still I’m getting this error :weary:

blackarch.db failed to download
error: failed retrieving file ‘blackarch.db’ from mirrors.fossho.st : The requested URL returned error: 503
error: failed to synchronize all databases (failed to retrieve some files)

It doesn’t look like the one u told, it looks like this:

[blackarch]
Usage = All
Server = fossho.st

what should I do ?

Correct it as shown by @anon72786180
Then it should work, if you corrected the mirrorlist.
