[Solved?] ABS: Download failed

abs 2.4.3-1

$ sudo abs
==> Downloading tarballs...
    ==> core...
    ==> extra...
    ==> community...
    ==> multilib...
==> ERROR: Download failed

$ cat /etc/abs.conf

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

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

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

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

#
# 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) #correct

$ cat /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Server = http://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch # works, of course

I can only say it works for me. I'm on 32-bit, but I've enabled multilib and it went OK.

Re: [Solved?] ABS: Download failed

It seems it was a temprorary server error. Now it works.
I should have tried to change servers when the error occured to know for sure.
