Ok guys ... mirror.centos.org is a RRDNS set of mirrors that are
controlled by CentOS.org.
If you are in the US or EU, you probably will be OK using it.
If you are behind a transparent proxy server, maybe not so well. Also
if you are not in the US or EU you might have timeout issues.
For anyone having problems, the best thing to do is to move to mirrors
that are closer to you ...
You can find a mirror at:
http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13
These mirrors are not controlled by CentOS, but you may find that you
get better performance by using one of these mirrors ... especially
during a new update set release cycle.
You would edit the file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo (or remark out
those entries in CentOS-Base.repo and add a new .repo file) and change
the baseurl= to point to the new directory on the closest mirrors.
