Scott are you using dialup by chance? I too have had problems with
up2date. My problem is a little different and only seems to happen with
larger downloads. (i.e. a kernel update)

My solution is to use the RHN-applet to discover what packages need to
be updated, then to use gftp to go to one of the Fedora Core mirror
sites and manually download the updates, then rpm -Uvh the updates. I
find it a whole lot faster!

Cheers,

Charles
