Up2date couldn't even get bash2, for me.
After 5 attempts I am just downloading all the rpms from the update site. :-(
I didn't get any errors, up2date whould just stop downloading after a few hundred packets.

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.
I'm surprised that a tool as mature as up2date doesn't know how to handle an interrupted download more cleanly than that.
I'm no longer surprised (because I've had it happen to me so often), but I am apalled that it behaves so badly in this regard. 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.
