The commands needed are

Code:
export http_proxy=127.0.0.1:8080
Code:
export ftp_proxy=127.0.0.1:8080
You replace the IP Address with yours and also you will need to edit the pacman.conf file in /etc and uncomment the line saying use wget passive then save the file and off you go.
I hope this helps..

Luke
