Failed retrieving file on xscreensaver install

Attempted to install Xscreensaver but got file not found errors from 3 mirrors(arch's FTP, too).

I did sync the package DBs and upgraded pacman with no luck.  Any information would be appreciated.

Re: Failed retrieving file on xscreensaver install

looks to me like latest xscreensaver is 5.10-1
try a different mirror and re-syncing with it?
