I have been running FC2 for a while now, launching up2date whenever I get the exclamation mark in the red circle.
Usually it tries to send me to muohio.edu for the files. (Miami Univ. - Ohio).
I have NEVER got a response from this server, up2date just hangs. Going to other
sites works fine. Sounds like there is something wrong with that site so I thought I'd
mention it. I'll start here and post to bugzilla if someone thinks that is more appropriate.
Fair call. This whole mirror thing is only half working I'm afraid. A lot of mirrors give me GPG errors when packages download, and I have to do the 'mirror chase' to find a working download.
I even tried changing my sources and added the .au (I'm in Australia) to the yum-mirrors section to try to get everything from Australia, but using that method, the mirror I get sent to give me a 404 on the header file.
I'm assuming this will be worked on for FC3, but I'm still disappointed by how little up2date has improved since introduction (even before Fedora I mean). I'm screwed either way. US mirrors are slow, lock or give me GPG errors and Australia mirrors don't work.
When I get a spare minute in my day, I'll have to chase the RPMs manually I think.
