Host resolving unawesomeness

Hi Archers,

I can browse the web (http/https/ftp), do some torrenting, all that stuff without any problem.

Now since a few days, when i try to use wget, curl, pulling trees with hg or using aurbuild, here's what happens:

[eb@blackout mercurial]$ wget http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/release/mercurial-1.0.2.tar.gz
--2008-11-22 21:50:04--  http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/release/mercurial-1.0.2.tar.gz
Resolving www.selenic.com... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address `www.selenic.com'

[eb@blackout src]$ hg pull
pulling from http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/mercurial/demandimport.py:46: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead
  mod = _origimport(head, globals, locals)
abort: error: Name or service not known

[eb@blackout ~]$ sudo aurbuild -su
Password: 
Using nano as $EDITOR... 
Could not retrieve needed data from http://aur.archlinux.org/
[Errno socket error] [Errno -2] Name or service not known

Please let me know should anyone need some more info.

Oh and FTR, I'm using pacman with wget and it just works.

TIA

/edit: so i tried:

[eb@blackout ~]$ wget http://204.152.191.37/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.28-rc6.bz2
--2008-11-22 22:18:53--  http://204.152.191.37/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.28-rc6.bz2

and it works...

Re: Host resolving unawesomeness

so i was looking at my pacman logs and downgraded the recently updated toolchain (in [TESTING]) and everything works again... is that a bug, am i doing it wrong or did i just miss something?
