IIRC technically the right server is fedora.redhat.com (yes that used to redirect to download.fedora.redhat.com, but now it is redirecting somewhere else). fedora.redhat.com is still working. One weekend last month there was a problem with it for about 48 hours and some people were changing their yum.conf and up2date sources files to point to download.fedora.redhat.com. So anyway, to fix this, change your /etc/yum.conf repositories lists back to the default settings: --- [base] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base baseurl=http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-$releasever [updates-released] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates baseurl=http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-$releasever --- And up2date's /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources to: --- yum fedora-core-1 http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1 yum updates-released http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-1 --- These are just snippets, however. If you want a working list of offical sources for yum/up2date/apt look at the ones at http://www.xades.com/proj/fedora_repos.html .
