ABS rsync error

I get this error when I try to run abs as root:

bash-3.2# abs
==> Starting ABS sync...
receiving file list ... rsync: link_stat "/::abs/i686/." (in archlinux) failed: No such file or directory (2)
done

sent 20 bytes  received 9 bytes  1.35 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1497) [receiver=3.0.2]
bash-3.2#

This is my /etc/abs.conf

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

#
# Server to sync from
#
SYNCSERVER="rsync://mirror.pacific.net.au/archlinux/"

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

#
# 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 !unstable community !testing)

Please help :/

Re: ABS rsync error

Doing this:

SYNCSERVER="rsync://mirror.pacific.net.au/archlinux/"

breaks ABS here too.

Edit:  do the mirrors even have copies of the abs tree?

No, they don't.

Re: ABS rsync error

What mirror should I use then? The default rsync.archlinux.org doesn't work for me...

Re: ABS rsync error

The default is the only "mirror".  Are you behind a firewall?

Re: ABS rsync error

SOLVED: I changed it back to rsync.archlinux.org
Turns out it takes a while for me to get the file list, probably because of my slow connection.

The default is the only "mirror".  Are you behind a firewall?

Thanks for your help
