It looks like I can modify the files an /etc/yum.repos.d to make it use rh instead of the mirrors.
You'd be better off finding the mirror that gives you the best response and using that. It almost certainly won't be download.fedora.redhat.com.

Look at the mirrors list and try each one and see which is faster and then try to use them normally. With the way our network is configured, I have to use a mirror across the country as this is where our Internet connection is located. :(
We do mirror some of sites here.
For me, I have found that the ftp sites are faster than the www sites.
