FWIW I have a similar issue which seems to be due to some sort of DNS lookup problem. In my case I'd get the 'Name or service not known' for download1.rpmfusion.org. My /etc/nsswitch.conf file says to use files and dns The /etc/resolv.conf is setup properly I tried disabling ipv6 completely but the symptoms stay the same ping and firefox seem to resolve the addresses correctly, but wget and ssh do not The failures occur for only some sites (like linuxdownload.adobe.com and download1.rpmfusion.org) but do not occur with others (like download.fedoraproject.org iirc). The failures consistently occur for the same sites Putting the IP addresses in /etc/hosts "works around" the problem No idea what's going on...
