Problem upgrading smbclient

Appently my friend does not have this problem with smbclient but when I perform a full upgrade I get this.

smbclient-3.2.6-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz is invalid or corrupted
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I think I can fix this myself but I thought I would post it incase it's an AUR issue. Although like I said, my friend does not have this problem.

I am using the first repository available to select when installing Arch linux.

You really want to say "Y" there.  If it downloads corrupt again, file a bug report with the mirror you are using.

Re: Problem upgrading smbclient

I got this last month and was able to fix it by advice from a friend. I don't remember what it was since it was months ago. I just installed arch again after reformatting and yet I get this same error even using a different mirror. This is strange and I can't pinpoint what the issue is. All mirrors couldn't possibly all have corrupted files could they? Well not much on the forums about this so I suppose gnome will have to wait :-(
