A silly question but... Have you commented the Development branch,

Of course not, that's why I was asking.
I couldn't figure it out in the yum configuration but in the
rhn/sources I found the lines and changed them as follows:
yum fedora-core-3
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/$ARCH/os/
yum updates-released-fc3
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/$ARCH/
yum-mirror fedora-core-3
http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/fedora-core-3
yum-mirror updates-released-fc3
http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/updates-released-fc3
#yum updates-testing
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/3/$ARCH/
#yum-mirror updates-testing
http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/updates-testing-fc3
#yum development
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$ARCH/
#yum-mirror development

I tried that and it's still not working, probably because the servers
are being hammered right now.
I don't suppose you could not top post it makes things much easier
(for me at least).
For me, I downloaded the latest fedora-release rpm and yum rpm from a
mirror, rpm -Uvh those, this sets up yum to use mirror lists.
A lot of them are still saying permission denied but with a couple of
retries you eventually get a working mirror.
I have done that on two boxes now and it all worked fine.
For future reference yum now uses /etc/yum.repos.d to hold indevidual
files for repo's, their fairly simple to understand.
