However the 'dnf -v' showed that the process was waiting on the mirror server for some reason. The dnf log showed the URL it was trying to use, and when I tried this in a browser it worked fine (the XML file was displayed). However, when I tried with 'curl -v' it hung up. The problem was with the EPSV command: ==== < 250 Directory successfully changed. > EPSV * Connect data stream passively 421 Timeout.ng Extended Passive Mode (|||14410|) * Connection time-out * Failed EPSV attempt. Disabling EPSV > PASV * response reading failed * Closing connection 0 curl: (56) response reading failed ==== Running curl with the '--disable-epsv' option, and the file downloaded immediately. I then found someone else had recently reported a similar problem: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=305034 By enabling the 'fastestmirror' option in dnf, downloads now work fine. What is a bit annoying is that the original mirror being used was the one at the University of Kent here in the UK. Fortunately the 'fastestmirror' has chosen a different mirror, but I guess at some future time the problem could emerge again if that mirror gets selected. I'll see about letting the mirror know of the problem.
