Yum's Achilles Heel - if the main server is down, there's no way to
get a mirror.
Actually, you can specify baseurl in your repo file, but I imagine the
server will be up again soon...

'evolved'....
yeah so I see, its evolved nicely... I guess a few more minutes it'll
probably change again.

The infrastructure team is working on the resolution.

In any case, I consider it useful to insert into the yum repo configs an
entry for at least my nearest decent mirror, as a baseurl. Along with
this set the failovermethod=priority in /etc/yum.conf so that your
baseurl will always be tried before getting the mirrorlist and it's urls.
Especially good when your own ISP mirrors the fedora site, and doesn't
count downloads from their mirror against your account, or when
something untoward happens with the fedora mirror site/script.
Anyway, mirrorlist seems good now, at least for {from .au}
