Read the comments on the package's AUR page.

Re: [Solved]Downloading Failure in makepkg

Did you read the comment by carrioncrow on the AUR page from March 5 ?

I tried his comment, and it seemed to do the trick.  Here is the diff file that represents the changes you should make to the PKGBUILD file:

13c13
< source=(http://mirrors.foxitsoftware.com/pub/foxit/reader/desktop/linux/1.x/$pkgver/enu/FoxitReader-$pkgver.0.tar.bz2

> source=(http://cdn04.foxitsoftware.com/pub/foxit/reader/desktop/linux/1.x/1.1/enu/FoxitReader-1.1.0.tar.bz2

Re: [Solved]Downloading Failure in makepkg

No problem.  I do want to add, however -- my solution is a hack.  It should not be construed to be a proper fix to the PKGBUILD.
