Was just doing a (very) belated update on a 7.5 system and ran into this set of errors:

I then browsed to the mirror shown above and downloaded the files with no trouble. I then did "yum localupdate" for the three downloaded files and they installed just fine.
so, anybody know why we're getting the 416 error from yum but not from firefox?
a little searching for that error indicates it is some kind of problem on the web host, I think. but it's weird.
I don't need help, I'm good, but perhaps someone needs to look at whatever mis-configuration on the host(s) causes that.
I originally left the repo file alone so it attempted to use the repolist but every repo failed. I then changed it to use the baseurl but it didn't help. So whatever the problem is, it isn't with just a single host.
