There's no proxy. There is a direct link to net with a public IP
without firewall enabled. Only yum can't download. Firefox works, mc
works, wget works... :(

Those .hdr files must be generated? I thought I can dowload them from
somewhere. I even found something here:
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/ayo/fedora/linux/4/x86_64/updates/headers/libstdc++-0-4.0.1-4.fc4.x86_64.hdr
But when I was trying to update with "yum -C update" it deleted that
.hdr file I downloaded, after it gave me this error message:

Setting up Upgrade Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Resolving Dependencies
--> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait.
---> Downloading header for libstdc++ to pack into transaction set.
Error: Caching enabled but no local cache of
//var/cache/yum/updates-released/headers/libstdc++-4.0.1-4.fc4.i386.hdr
from updates-released
