pacman broken pipe

I have installed new ArchLinux 0.7 system. When I wrote "pacman -Syu" it has synchronized and offered to upgrade pacman. After pacman upgrade I wrote once again "pacman -Syu" and pacman offered me to update about 20 packages. It started downloading the first one and when it have completed it wrote: Broken pipe. Pacman turned off. And now every time I try to update or install a new package, when I run pacman and it download something I get broken pipe after each downloaded file and pacman turns off. How can I correct this problem? Using wget didn't helped. It stucks when "Logging into ftp as anonymous". Any ideas?

Re: pacman broken pipe

I'm guessing he's already tried that, since I suspect the reason he's tried wget is because it's mentioned in the only other thread relevant to this, and pacman.static is mentioned there too...

I may be wrong tho
