I changed mirror and stil have the problem. The file starts downloading, but at 40-60% aborts with a timeout error, no matter what mirror Im using. I have used yum since a lot of time ago with fedora 2 without problems.

The proxy is open for that server. I can download the file using wget. And the problem still persists today.
Yum doesn't work well with transparent proxies
you can set proxy info within the etc/yum.conf file ...
see "man yum.conf" for proxy info
The same problem.
Ok guys ... mirror.centos.org is a RRDNS set of mirrors that are controlled by CentOS.org.
If you are in the US or EU, you probably will be OK using it.
If you are behind a transparent proxy server, maybe not so well. Also if you are not in the US or EU you might have timeout issues.
For anyone having problems, the best thing to do is to move to mirrors that are closer to you ...
You can find a mirror at:
http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13
These mirrors are not controlled by CentOS, but you may find that you get better performance by using one of these mirrors ... especially during a new update set release cycle.
You would edit the file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo (or remark out those entries in CentOS-Base.repo and add a new .repo file) and change the baseurl= to point to the new directory on the closest mirrors.
