[SOLVED] yaourt. packages taken from aur that are from core or extra

Hi! i have a couple of days ago strange yaourt-pacman behaviour, i mean, when i do -Syu --aur, i get strange

[aleyscha@aleyscha ~]$ yaourt -S screen
warning: screen-4.0.3-5 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Targets: screen-4.0.3-5  

Total Download Size:    0.45 MB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] 
:: Retrieving packages from extra...
error: failed retrieving file 'screen-4.0.3-5-i686.pkg.tar.gz' from ftp.archlinux.org : Connection timed out
warning: failed to retrieve some files from extra
error: failed to commit transaction (unexpected error)

and in yaourt -Syu --aur for example, i get a lot of packages newer in local than in aur, and some packages i know not even are in aur... for example unshield alsa-plugins and tuxcmd

==> Searching for new version on AUR

Re: [SOLVED] yaourt. packages taken from aur that are from core or extra

What are the versions of your pacman and yaourt?

There are some updates to all the pacman, yaourt and AUR web pages,
so can you try this:
1. upgrade pacman itself first
2. upgrade yaourt itself, then
3. and last, try full system upgrade.

These errors seem familiar, but I have no idea how it disappeared.

I've seen this once on my pc also. I did nothing, after a short time it was ok again.
