Problems installing Mate from the mate repositories

Hi all.

I wanted to give Mate a spin after the release of 1.4 and followed the wiki.

After additing the repository I refereshed pacman cache and went into install.

I am getting the following errors which I hope you can help me with:

Total Download Size:    1.08 MiB
Total Installed Size:   222.34 MiB
Net Upgrade Size:       214.98 MiB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
:: Retrieving packages from mate...
error: failed retrieving file 'mate-menus-1.4.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz' from repo.mate-desktop.org : Maximum file size exceeded

Better off contacting the owner of that repo that is nothing to do with arch
