I can fetch http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/mirrors-rpmforge just fine on
my dialup connection via localnet.com

And I can fetch
http://mirror.umoss.org/fedora/epel/5/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml as well

And I can fetch
http://mirror.vcu.edu/pub/gnu%2Blinux/epel/5/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml
These are all with Firefox.
You might want to double check things at your end. If *I* can fetch

the *servers* are fine. Something else is wrong. Maybe someone did
something screwy with a firewall or router somewhere? Or maybe a router
has just gone bad.
