[SOLVED] failed retrieving file nvidia-260.19.36-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

I'm getting an erorr when installing the nvidia drivers. The file 'nvidia-260.19.36-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' was not found on either of those sites so I downloaded offline somewhere, but it still would not install. Is anybody else having this problem? are the mirrors down or is it just me.

What kernel version do you have?

In a  terminal run:

uname -a

Maybe yoy need update the kernel first. The actuall is 2.6.37.5.

pacman -Syu nvidia

260.19.36-1 was replaced by 260.19.36-2, so it's expected that it can't be found at any mirrors.
