e17-CVS respositries not working

The respositires for e17-cvs appear to be down. I've tried to get both e17-cvs (in a thread I found) and e-cvs (in the wiki) to no avail- I've also tried adjusting my mirror lists, but no luck. I seem to get two errors:

error: failed retrieving file 'ecore-cvs-20080218-1.pkg.tar.gz' from ftp.parrswood.manchester.sch.uk : Not Found

or pacman just quits, or freezes.

Pacman works fine for all other packages, and indeed it worked fine for the first 11 megabytes of e17, but it appears the packages are not present, or something.

This is an example of what it does:

[snafle@server pacman.d]$ sudo pacman -S e17-cvs
:: group e17-cvs (including ignored packages):
    e-cvs  e_dbus-cvs  ecore-cvs  edje-cvs  eet-cvs  efreet-cvs  embryo-cvs  epeg-cvs  evas-cvs

Then it just sits there. Can someone test the repos, or give me a link to a repo that that works?

I'm pretty sure that manchester mirror isn't up any more. Check this list for the list of mirrors available: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mirrors

Make sure you don't have any outdated mirrors in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and put the preferred ones at the top.

I suspect I mucked up pacman, I've redone all my mirrorlists are are now updating it. Lets hope.
Yup, it's sorted.
