db-4.6.19-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

I have this problem for a few days, and have no idea how to fix it.
When I comment [testing] in pacman.conf everything upgrades correctly.
But when I enable [testing], I see:

Targets: apr-1.2.11-1  db-4.6.19-1  pam-0.99.8.1-4  heimdal-1.0.1-2 
         libcups-1.3.3-1  cups-1.3.3-1  cvs-1.11.22-6  gnome-terminal-2.18.2-1 
         smbclient-3.0.26a-2  gnome-vfs-2.20.0-2  iproute-070710-2 
         libgnome-2.20.0-1  libsasl-2.1.22-4  perl-5.8.8-7  python-2.5.1-2 
         ruby-1.8.6_p110-3  wireshark-0.99.6-4 

Total Package Size:   59.33 MB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]

:: Retrieving packages from testing...
error: failed retrieving file 'db-4.6.19-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz' from gd.tuwien.ac.at : Connection timed out

I tried to change servers in /etc/pacman.d/testing but it never helps.
I tried to remove db, but too many other system packages use it.

What's the reason and what's the solution?

OK, looks like it was my problem with wget settings. I wonder why it happens only on testing. Probably all other repositories were downloaded via http.
Sorry for false alarm.
