If you have a fast internet connection, you'd be best off to download the latest ftp installation iso and go from there, in my opinion. The pacman issue if fixed in that iso, too. Then you can download anything extra you want after getting the base system set up.

Be sure to check the Arch wiki for lots of help getting things setup and running.
