^^^^^
This is the URL where the mirrorlist is downloaded.

You would substitute the variables appropriately:
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-9&arch=i386

If you can load that URL without problems, your problem with Yum is
elsewhere. Try disabling the fastestmirror plugin. Try interrupting
Yum to take a look at the downloaded and cached mirrorlist.txt file
before it is removed:

Do you have enough free space below /var?
What happens if you "yum --disablerepo=fedora update"?
Same problem with the remaining repositories?

Empty metadata cache prior to running this command? that's strange. Perhaps
you've run this more than once.
