[Solved]Nameserver issue with ABS

[ThinkFast]

I installed the abs package with pacman. When I try to run the script, I get and error:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[bitcoin@alarm-01 ~]$ sudo abs
[sudo] password for bitcoin:
==> Downloading tarballs...
==> core...
==> ERROR: Download failed
==> extra...
==> ERROR: Download failed
==> community...
==> ERROR: Download failed
==> multilib...
==> ERROR: Download failed
[bitcoin@alarm-01 ~]$')
I have tried changing the nameserver with no luck.

Here's the config file:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[bitcoin@alarm-01 ~]$ cat /etc/abs.conf
#
# /etc/abs.conf
#

# the top-level directory of all your PKGBUILDs
[ "$ABSROOT" = "" ] && ABSROOT="/var/abs/"

#
# Server to sync from
#
SYNCSERVER="rsync.archlinux.org"

#
# The architecture to fetch abs for
# Either i686 or x86_64
#
ARCH="i686"

#
# Pacman mirror list used for syncing via tarball
#
MIRRORLIST="/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist"

#
# REPOS to be parsed by abs (in this order)
# (prefix a repo with a ! to disable it)
#
# Note: If a repo is removed, it is still fetched!
# Repos must be preceded with a ! to prevent fetching
#
REPOS=(core extra community multilib !testing !community-testing !multilib-testing
!staging !community-staging !gnome-unstable !kde-unstable)
[bitcoin@alarm-01 ~]$ ')
Should I change ARCH="i686" to "arm"?
Thanks.

Nevermind. It seems requesting each repository separately works. Very strange!

Our PKGBUILDs are on github, and we use i686 otherwise, with -A

I have found that if you do
abs core
Followed by
abs
It works
