ntfs-3g won't install [solved]

Hello,

It seems i cannot install ntfs-3g through Pacman.
It says:

warning: failed to get filesize for ntfs-3g-0.20070207-1.pkg.tar.gz
Failed downloading ntfs-3g etc.

I've already tried others servers, it just doesn't seem to be available anywhere.

Anybody else have this problem?

Thanks.

JD

Try this: pacman -Scc and then pacman -Sy ntfs-3g again. This should work fine since  the problem resides in a defective ntfs-3g package downloaded from the server, it has hapenned to me before and this seems to fix it, maybe you'll need to wait a bit to sync again.
