Not synced to what is shown on the front page

I've noticed that my updates differ from those on the front page. Yesterday night it say firefox3b4 was out but this is what I got:

[reasons // /home/shawn] pacman -Sy firefox3
:: Synchronizing package databases...

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]

Just ff3b3 which I already had. Pacman -Syu had no updates. Could it be because I moved two mirrors up in my mirrorist and they aren't updated? My /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist:

Re: Not synced to what is shown on the front page

Hmm, just went to both of your top 2 mirror sites directly and neither seem to have the latest firefox. Guess it's just the mirrors being slow in syncing.

Re: Not synced to what is shown on the front page

These mirrors don't seem to have big troubles, just a little slow to sync, maybe just once per day.
But well, upgrading once per day is more than enough.

Re: Not synced to what is shown on the front page

The firefox3 package for x86_64 was only built last night. Probably your mirror hasn't synced since then.  The front page only displays the status of the i686 repo. If you use x86_64 , it could take more time for the packages  to be available as sometime another dev has to build the x86_64 package.
