Corrupted package errors with pacman

Question

I'm trying to install ardour with pacman.  I issue the sudo pacman -S ardour command and get the following pakages are corrupted.
liblo-0.25-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
libsamplerate-0.1.7-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
aubio-0.3.2-3-i686.pkg.tar.gz
ardour-2.5-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
I have no idea where to start because I've never come across anything like this.  I've installed other packages after this attempt with no issue.  I have core, extra, community, kdemod-core, kdemod-extragear, and archlinuxfr activated in my pacman.conf.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

I was just about to post a message regarding a very high number of corrupted packages since yesterday. I've tried with the stock arch kernel and my self compiled kernel that up until yesterday I had no problems with.
when arch fetches a package it downloads it to /var/cache/pacman/pkg you may have some .part files that are interrupted downloads. You could try deleting them incase it's related.
For me, it seems to be the larger packages that are failing. I managed to install iptables, but samba, openoffice, and a kernel update fail each time. I currently use

Server = ftp://mirror.lividpenguin.com/pub/archl … /os/x86_64
although I have tried other pacman mirrors and re-sync'd with pacman -Syy to ensure I have the latest package list. My lan is a  skge card
