[Solved] Downloading package binaries without pacman

I'm trying to install Arch on my little Acer Aspire One D250. Unfortunately, the installation image comes with kernel 2.6.30, which has broken drivers for all the network hardware on that machine. So, I need to download the new 2.6.32 kernel on another computer, then install it off of a USB stick with pacman -U.

So, my question is: how do I download the package binaries for the new kernel without going through pacman? TIA.

try here http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/core/os/i686/
or here http://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/core/os/x86_64/

You can find all the mirrors in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.
