Just went to update a couple systems this morning, and first one machine took nearly 15 min to find the mirrors (and it should be getting it all from our own repo, actually), and then the next one showed about 8-10 mirrors down, including Harvard and VCU. Anyone know what's going on?
debugging yum issues is almost always best done from your local client instance. Running yum with -d9 would be a good place to start from.
I do not believe it's a local yum issue. I tried to point firefox to http://mirror.harvard.edu, not exactly an obscure mirror, and it times out. As I work for an agency of the US gov't, and we have *fat* pipes, it's not likely to be on our end.
From yum -d9 update:
<snip> Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/mirrors-rpmforge error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')> <...>
I can fetch http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/mirrors-rpmforge just fine on my dialup connection via localnet.com
http://mirror.umoss.org/fedora/epel/5/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out>
And I can fetch http://mirror.umoss.org/fedora/epel/5/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml as well
Trying other mirror. http://mirror.vcu.edu/pub/gnu%2Blinux/epel/5/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out>

These are all with Firefox.
You might want to double check things at your end. If *I* can fetch these URLs with a low-end funky dialup connection, I would guess that the *servers* are fine. Something else is wrong. Maybe someone did something screwy with a firewall or router somewhere? Or maybe a router has just gone bad.

And it's still going. What we have here is a massive problem with the mirrors.
So, any *real* idea what's going on?
