Doesn't this `sed' script do precisely what Kam Lao suggested---namely to comment out the mirrorlist URL and uncomment the baseurl? If yes, then (as I wrote to Kam) I did that already (by hand) before I wrote to the list; didn't help. I can't imagine this being a network problem on my machine, router, or provider as I can get to the darn repomd.xml file (and look inside it!) via Firefox. Other suggestions?
