Disowning the package since I won't use vpn-unlimited-bin which depends on it.

Changing PKGBUILD, then 

makepkg
sudo pacman -U boost174-1.74.0-7-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
sudo pacman -U boost174-libs-1.74.0-7-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

worked! Thank you @chorlton and @randomstuff1!

@chorlton Mate, you're an absolute Legend! Was way outta my paygrade & I was banging my head against the wall. I paid for $38 lifetime Vpn Unlimited subscription, 8yrs ago, & I wasn't ready to give up. Thanks again...

I was getting similar errors to @ace510 - although I realise they're just summary stats and my numbers were different. I amended the PKGBUILD file to send b2's output to a text log file and spotted that all the errors were related to boost_python. I only need the package to support vpn-unlimited-bin so amended line 79 from

  ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=gcc --with-icu --with-python=python3

to

  ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=gcc --with-icu --without-libraries=python

Rebuild and it failed on package_boost174-libs(). This also has python related code, trying to copy mpi.so which didn't now exist, so I simply commented that out:

# https://github.com/boostorg/mpi/issues/112
#  local site_packages
#  site_packages=$(python -c 'import site; print(site.getsitepackages()[0])')
#  install -d "$pkgdir$site_packages/boost174"
#  touch "$pkgdir$site_packages/boost174/__init__.py"
#  python -m compileall -o 0 -o 1 -o 2 "$pkgdir$site_packages/boost174"
#  cp fakeinstall/lib/boost-python*/mpi.so "$pkgdir$site_packages/boost174/mpi.so"

The package then built and installed. I was then able to install vpn-unlimited-bin which seems to be working fine.

If you've bailed on the package, let somebody take it, at least?...

I was also trying to install VPN Unlimited client with this.

The link to the https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.74.0/source/boost_1_74_0.tar.bz2 in the package is dead, that's why the checksum fails, because the hosting is disabled and the installer is not checking the .tar.bz2 but the 404 page https://landing.jfrog.com/reactivate-server/boostorg

Since the maintainer has probably ditched this, you can install the boost174 by editing the PKGBUILD before installation:

yay -S --editmenu boost174

then when prompted to edit the file, choose (Y)es and edit the dead link to the official pakcage located at https://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_74_0.html (you can see it has the required checksum and is the same file), so edit 

https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/$pkgver/source/$_srcname.tar.bz2 
to
https://archives.boost.io/release/$pkgver/source/$_srcname.tar.bz2
