On my FC3 machine I get the same slowness occasionally while using "yum
update". If you press CTRL-C while yum is trying to download, it
cancels the connection and makes another connection to another mirror,
picking up right where it left off. I had to do CTTRL-C several times
once when each mirror was pretty slow until it finally found a fast one.

I just installed FC3 and up2date is updating lots of files. It seems a tad
slow, though--says I'm receiving at 1-3 kB/sec. Might it help to cancel the
update and restart, hoping for a faster connection to red hat's server? Or,
will that muck up the process, lose a day's worth of slow updating?
yum and up2date in fc3 randomly chooses a mirror everytime you update.
so go ahead and retry it. there is a lot of updates in there so it
might help if you clean up what you dont require first
