Is it only with those two packages? Are you on wireless or wired connection?

Re: corrupt package
If you get a corrupt package, delete the temporary downloaded "part" file from pacman cache and then redownload. If you still get corrupt packages you can always use wget and use:
pacman -U packageOffline

Re: corrupt package
i get this with random packages (mostly larger packages), the most recent now was pidgin and samba, i tried to clean cach using pacman -Sc and redownload but that never works, for some reason it sometimes work to reinstall pacman.

I have some information that may or may not be useful.
I have an Intel WiFi 5300 card. Kernel 2.6.28 has a bug so when I use this laptop with Ubuntu I get the same effects you are getting. I could serf the web fine and install "Small" packages But when I would downloads large files they would always get corruption.
This is fixed in Kernel >=2.6.29 So, it has no real relevance to your problem. But who knows maybe this info will lead you in the right direction.

Maybe, Try downloading the Arch Live CD. Then check the MD5 too see if it got corrupted. This way you will see if it is "pacman" that is having problems or if it is something ells more network or driver related.
