Vagrant - Cannot download arch core packages

Hello,

I am trying to set up an archlinux Vagrant box on my mac and am having some trouble. I cannot any core packages that come directly from an arch mirror. I have tried switching the default kernel server to the uwaterloo one (as I am in waterloo) and I cannot download them from there. I also tried a number of servers and cannot download packages from anywhere. I can however download all non core packages (packages that aren't from one of the core arch package servers). The vagrant file has been made by other people and I have verified that it works on their computers. I can also use wget to resolve the host.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Edit:
I let the package manager finish trying to download all files from pacman -Syu and it failed every file. It returned the error failed to commit transaction (download library error) at the end

Edit 2:
I have tried a different Vagrant box that has been confirmed working and I still have no access to the packages

Edit 3:
Apparently the subnetwork I was on (School network -> Work subnetwork) blocks the packages? doesn't really make sense since my desktop is on the same network and can download the packages fine. Switched the school network and it works.
