Have you tried it again? That URL works for me, so I'm guessing it
was a temporary problem.

It reads like there are two problems here: a checksum problem and a
"too few mirrors in the conf files" problem.
The checksum problem (again) seems like it was probably a short term
problem. If you try again, I'll bet it will work. The probably of
"no more mirrors" can be solved by adding a couple of extra mirrors to
your yum.conf or your /etc/yum.repos.d/ "man yum.conf" for more
information on adding mirrors. You can find more mirrors to add to
your yum.conf in the
http://centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13 page and read
about which ones are already added via http://mirror.centos.org DNS
passing See this thread for more information:
