Unable to update system

I hadn't run an update for a while but now I'm completely unable to update my system the error im given is the following

error: failed retrieving file 'eclipse-3.5.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz' from archlinux.unixheads.org: Requested Range Not Satisfiable

What does this error mean and how can i fix it. Currently I have over 1GB in updates and Updating each package manually would be a pain. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Unable to update system

It's only temporary.  It just means the unixheads hasn't fully synced yet. You can either wait a little while, change mirrors, or look into something like powerpill that will allow you to download from multiple mirrors.

Re: Unable to update system

Thanks for your help. Altough I had tried diferent mirrors none of them worked(Including the direct ftp server). Altough I solver this just 1 minute ago. When looking for a solution I found that the file already was in cache, but it was currupt. I deleted the file and now pacman is downloading the file.

Againg thanks for your help
