Problems upgrading to new xorg, fails to retrieve file

When trying to update pacman is looking for a file called 'brltty-4.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz' which it fails to download...

Also, since it wants to replace libxft-lcd with libxft, can I get subpixel lcd rending back?

A look at

https://users.archlinux.de/~gerbra/mirrorcheck.html

shows that your mirrors lag behind - sometimes 12 hours. They may be inconsistent. You could try other mirrors or wait until they are fully synched.
