pacman not finding extra.db.tar.gz (Solved)

Funny error this morning as I went to do my daily check of updated packages at 9:00am CDT :error: failed retrieving file 'current.db.tar.gz' from ftp.nethat.com : File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
error: failed to synchronize current: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db.tar.gz' from ftp.nethat.com : File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
error: failed to synchronize extra: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
I physically checked the servers and saw that indeed there were these files dated from 9/9/07 but why packman isn't seeing them, I have no idea, any help would be appreciated.

the file is there, maybe you edited the server line incorrectly,
it should be ftp://ftp.nethat.com/pub/linux/archlinux

My apologies, solved.
And BTW, never,ever attempt to edit text files while using a narcotic painkiller.

@slammer64:
I know what you mean by that smile
I think I tried installing grub into an image file some time and wondered why it won't work.
