I discovered this problem when I couldn't connect to the AUR anymore
When trying -Syua:
$ yaourt -Syua
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
multilib is up to date
error: failed retrieving file 'archlinuxfr.db' from repo.archlinux.fr : No address record
error: failed to update archlinuxfr (No address record)
Foreign packages: | 8 / 8
When trying a single package (ttf-ms-fonts in this example):
wget: unable to resolve host address “downloads.sourceforge.net”
==> ERROR: Failure while downloading andale32.exe
Aborting...
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build ttf-ms-fonts.
It seems similar to this post in a way, but I can get packages from core, extra, community, and multilib. I only have problems with archlinuxfr. But I think the main part that makes it similar is wget does not seem to be working.

This post in particular caught my attention because I did have some issues with my router before. I couldn't browse through any browser, but could ping/upgrade with pacman. Disabling IPv6 fixed it to where I can browse, but I still haven't figured out this issue.
Thanks for reading, and please excuse my ignorance. Let me know if any more info is needed.

I remember having issues retrieving packages from that repository when I had it enabled. Don't remember what I needed it for. Anyhow, does wget work for other things? Like when you use it on its own? If so i would guess it is probably the repository that is broken and not your wget.

It may quite well be archlinuxfr. I don't use it any more since about a year but I remember similar issues every now and then.
Are you able to connect to the AUR at all (besides archlinuxrf - comment this one in pacman.conf for a test)?
To know or not to know ...
... the questions remain forever.

That's a problem with *DNS*, not a problem specifically with wget.

I see. I was leaning towards something like that. Unfortunately, I can't look into what is going on atm since I moved back into my dorm. I certainly don't have the problem anymore though. I'll mark this thread as solved for now.
edit: un-marked as solved so mynameisneo can work his problem out. Unfortunately I cant check to see whether or not I still have the issue.

I am having this same exact issue, except that for me it occurs with packer. I have read that it is a DNS issue, but what is the fix?

Change DNS servers or change mirrors.

I am connecting wirelessly through a router. I added the following lines to my /etc/resolv.conf:
nameserver 2001:4860:4860::8888
nameserver 2001:4860:4860::8844
However, this resulted in loss of connection.
My mirror is currently:
Server = ftp://archlinux.supsec.org/pub/linux/arch/$repo/os/$arch
This is my error:
sudo packer -S netwmpager
Resolving ftp.at.gnucash.org... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address 'gtp.at.gnucash.org'
==> ERROR: Failure while downloading netwmpager-1.11.tar.bz2
Aborting...
The build failed.

It seems like the problem was with makepkg. I edited my /etc/makepkg.conf to change my DLAGENT from wget to curl and downloading from the AUR with packer works properly now.
I commented out the lines with wget and replaced them with the following:
#Curl as default DLAGENT
DLAGENTS=('ftp::/usr/bin/curl -fC - --ftp-pasv --retry 3 --retry-delay 3 -o %o %u'
'http::/usr/bin/curl -fLC - --retry 3 --retry-delay 3 -o %o %u'
'https::/usr/bin/curl -fLC - --retry 3 --retry-delay 3 -o %o %u'
'rsync::/usr/bin/rsync -z %u %o'
'scp::/usr/bin/scp -C %u %o')
