I’m unsure why this is the case as I’ve installed mercury on my laptop.
logs here
I’m running the online installer and it got stuck on 12%. I updated mirrors.
the last thing it did in the log (from what i can see) is failed to download ‘gcc-libs’
Update: it looks like the London mirror isn’t working if that helps? I get ‘warning: too many errors from london.mirror.pkgbuild.com, skipping for the remainder of this transaction’
Hei welcome at the forum and sad to see you have issues. 
I see:
2025-02-11 - 14:25:37 [6]: [PYTHON JOB]: "pacstrap: error: failed retrieving file 'gcc-libs-14.2.1+r753+g1cd744a6828f-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig' from london.mirror.pkgbuild.com : Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transferred the last 10 seconds"
You should try updating mirrors before starting installer if that mirror is the culprit check if its still in the list:
kate /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist if so remove it, or put a leading # in front of the serverline containing this mirror.
We do see some users getting mirror issues at the moment.
We will investigate in this… but could be also next install is working without any issue.
after updating mirrors the only UK mirror is london.mirror.pkgbuild.com. I have disabled it and we will see
same error but from all mirrors. it might be that my connection is that unstable. It wont recognise my powerline adaptor so im having to use a terrible usb wifi dongle.
yes if they all fail it is something general network…
May need to set to WPA2 from default WPA3 keyhandling if its an older usb dongle.
it defaulted to WPA2 and connects just fine. i can access the london mirror on firefox for example.
I’m going to try an offline install.
what says speedtesting the connection?
using ookla or something
offline install worked, sorry for the trouble. I’ll probably make a new post about powerline adaptors.
websites take nearly a minute minimum to load so its a network issue
speed is something else… thats non existing connection
Exactly
Taking the internet out of the equation, it’d be worth speed testing your local network, from one system to another, over the power-line adaptors.
Power-line adaptors are not the ideal way to run a network. There are a heap of variables that can impact performance, not the least being all the other electrical devices that are plugged in and running (washing machine, dishwasher, toaster, kettle, TV, fridge, etc).
I’d only really consider these as a no-other-option last resort. I’d sooner have ethernet cables running across the floors, personally 
I’m gonna start reporting him if he posts that speed test result again, because I’m jealous! 
It’s actually a little slow. I want to be able to jump two dimensions not just one. 
Oh you’re measuring Mbps, not Tbps…
There is nothing faster than light speed. Experts theorize that one strand of fiber-optic cable can transmit up to 44 Tbps.
But researchers have hit a rate of 301 terabits per second — equivalent to transferring 1,800 4K movies over the internet in one second — using existing fiber-optic cables.
That’s what I’m waiting for.
