Installing packages while offline.

Does the following listed tar file remain available or has it been removed or replaced? 

ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/i686/extra.db.tar.gz 

I'm attempting to use the following HowTo to install packages offline.   

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=30431

and uses KDE as an example.

Any help would be appreciated

That should work.  Or you can pick a db from a mirror more local to you.
