<pre wrap="">Wouldn't surprise me. But I've tried this probably 10 times in the last
2-3 hours, would I always be that unlucky?
And if so, how would I avoid that mirror?

This issue was just raised in the main IRC channel as well.
By temporarily adding a line to /etc/hosts on the machine
seeking to pull updates, of the follow form, it will fail on
over to the next suggested entry:
127.0.0.2 centos.mirror.nac.net
Remember to pull it out again in a few days.

Yes, unfortunately the mechanism within yum to try another mirror
automatically seems to be broken in this instance. Perhaps someone with
more knowledge about yum can take a look?<br>
