FTP install from ftp.archlinux.org

I installed Arch today using ftp .
ftp.archlinux.org was on the top of my server list except for the extra repo, that had nethat first. After installation I changed extra also to archlinux.org and updated with pacman -Syu.
I was trying to compile e17 from cvs and my autoconfig would only work for certain packages, while everyone else on #e could compile without problems.  After trying to rebuild it with ABS i finally got the same version of autoconfig (2.59-1) from a different server that I found on the wiki page under "Downgrading with pacman":
ftp://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/suns … /archlinux
I added it with

#pacman -U

and now everything is working.
Just wanted to let everyone know about this.
