Tried to post this on parabola forum but couldn't do it.

When doing an "# pacman -Syy" to download packages from parabola and replace the ones on arch linux i get "The requested URL, returned error:404"

In the mirrorlist this is the URL indicated: "https://repomirror.parabola.nu/$repo/os/$arch" which in fact returns the same error on other desktop.

Uncommenting the other servers on the mirrorlist gave me the same error.

Any idea on what can i do ? Been trying since yesterday.

This is probably because the switch from xz to zstd (i.e., the compression method used by Arch packages), which is still in progress.

You can try to read Parabola's migration guidelines. I remembered that it described how to migrate form other Arch-based distributions (e.g. Archman, Manjaro, etc.) to Parabola.
