I got to the point of starting up2date just to get a list of the rpms it wanted, then using WS-FTP Pro to go collect them all from a mirror site, placing them in the up2date spool file. Then you can let up2date continue and it will find them already downloaded and install them.

For the record, I've got the same thing driving me nuts, and I do have the
fedora-release-1 RPM installed. Most of my packages are installing OK, but
a few (mozilla, f'rinstance) still are reported with bad signatures by
up2date.
GPG errors could also indicate truncated downloads. Your example of Mozilla is a large package. Try using a mirror.
