Are there any known infrastructure problems right now? > Thanks. I presume this is working for you again now? Do you have IPv6 enabled but not routing properly? It could be the libcurl bug. Do you get a sane XML document from doing this? $ wget -O - 'http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-12&arch=i386' or this: $ wget -4 -O - 'http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-12&arch=i386' If not, please send me your IP address or catch someone in #fedora-admin on IRC and we'll try to reproduce the problem.
