Trouble Installing Compiz-Fusion on Arch 64

Hi people, I've just tried to install Compiz Fusion following the instructions from the wiki :

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz_Fusion

but the packages are simply not on the repositories :S , Here's an example:

error: failed retrieving file 'libcompizconfig-git-20070930-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz' from arch.nesl247.org : Internal Server Error

Anybody knows what's going on with the maintainers ???

You need to add repositories to your pacman.conf in order for you to find compiz fusion, how ever I did follow the wiki and still got no results

Yeah, I maintain the 64-bit pkgs for Compiz-Fusion, and Nesl247 and I have been trying to sort out some server and rsync problems. So, the 64-bit repo is broken atm. I'm hoping to get it fixed pretty soon.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
