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.

And it's still going. What we have here is a massive problem with the mirrors.
So, any *real* idea what's going on?
No major problems here. One epel mirror failed, but the next one it tried worked and everything kept going.
