Can't update packages checksum error

Hello,
I issued the command

# pacman -Syu

to update my system, but when it comes to installing the packages, I get an error saying that the package is corrupted or invalid with a checksum error.
Below is an output (in french) but I'll translate it for you

Le fichier /var/cache/pacman/pkg/bluez-4.100-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz est corrompu (paquet invalide ou corrompu (somme de contrôle)).
Voulez vous le supprimer ? [O/n]

Translated :

File /var/cache/pacman/pkg/bluez-4.100-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (checksum)).
Do you wish to delete it ? [Y/n]

It does that for every single package. I looked through the forums but I could not find an answer.

Thanks in advance for your help.

It could be that your mirror has a problem. It seems as if the message is saying that the package(s) got corrupted during download:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=133938

It could help to use a different mirror.

For future reference: LANG=C <thecommand> will get you the output in engrish.

Thanks a lot, changing mirrors worked, but I don't understand why all of a sudden the mirrors I was using did not work. Anyway it works and that's what matters to me.
