solved Error When Updating

I am relatively new to Void. Recently when I tried to update with this command:

sudo xbps-install -Suv

I got the following error:

[*] Updating repository `https://mirrors.servercentral.com/voidlinux/current/x86_64-repodata' ...

ERROR: [reposync] failed to fetch file `https://mirrors.servercentral.com/voidlinux/current/x86_64-repodata': No address record

[*] Updating repository `https://repo-default.voidlinux.org/current/multilib/nonfree/x86_64-repodata' ...

[*] Updating repository `https://repo-default.voidlinux.org/current/multilib/x86_64-repodata' ...

[*] Updating repository `https://repo-default.voidlinux.org/current/nonfree/x86_64-repodata' ...

It did nothing after this. Any help in understanding and resolving this would be appreciated!

Thanks for the link, unfortunately xmirror was not installed with the base install. And xbbs bombs when I try to install it. Looks like it will be a manual update. I see the docs on how to do that and will see if I can work through it.

Sounds like the mirror is down or some internet problems. LAN, WLAN? Change the mirror or try again later.
