how can I survive from pacman -S policykit error ?? [solved]

I'm installing Xorg with "pacman -S xorg", after download all packages, it shows

policykit-0.9.9-i686.pkg.tar.gz is corrupted. Do you want to delete it? [Y/n]

and I select Y, but it says:

error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
policykit-0.9.9-i686.pkg.tar.gz is invalid or corrupted
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

then I install policykit itself:  pacman -S policykit
same error occurs.

How can I do with it??
It seems have been download to my PC but cannot install it.

Go to /var/cache/pacman/pkg and delete the .part file of

policykit-0.9.9-i686.pkg.tar.gz.part

Then

pacman -S xorg

Or If you would like to delete all the cache, just use pacman -Sc(c)

solved, thanks guys

I just switch to another mirror and use "pacman -w policykit" to download it then install it with "-S"
