The crux of the problem is out of sync mirrors being in the mirror list. That's a problem we're working on now by taking some work that another project has done to check the status of a mirror to make sure that the metadata it has matches the metadata that the mirror master has. To give you a useful analogy to the situation you're experiencing: This is like complaining that firefox is a bad browser b/c all of the websites you're visiting are down. OR complaining that you are riding a bad bike b/c all the roads are closed. -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
