need a direct link for iptables 1.3.5-1.pkg.tar.gz

i need a direct link for iptables 1.3.5-1.pkg.tar.gz so i can download it to a machine with no internet connection, and use pacman to install.
this is also a newbie question, whats the differences between:

iptables 1.3.5-1.pkg.tar.gz
and
iptables-1.3.5.tar.bz2

cheers!!

ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/current/os/i686 … pkg.tar.gz

difference between .pkg.tar.gz and .tar.bz2 is that the .tar.bz2 is a source package (you'll need to build it), and .pkg.tar.gz is a binary package to be used with arch
