Today I experienced a strange thing: many packages were downloaded from extra and community and resulted in being corrupted under pacman3. I tried the upgrade through pacman2 and didn't have any problem whatsoever. The mirror (mi.mirror.garr.it) is the same for both pacmans.
At first, since this never happened, I thought some maintainer had problems with the sums, so I checked: the packages came from different maintainers, which excluded my supposition, since it's almost impossible for at least four different people to make the same error for the first time during the same upgrade.
