I myself can't get past the "Setting up repositories stage."
BTW, are the ISOs available via bittorrent already?

Guys ... I apologize, but our mirrors are just absolutely maxed out.
We have served 2.26 TB (bytes not bits) in the last 24 hours ... which is 5x our normal traffic.
We are working on a way to use mirrorlist= so that we don't have this kind of problem in the future. (I know this has it's own issues, but it is something we need to do)
We also need more donated mirrors ... if you are an ISP who is making tons of money using CentOS, we could use a dedicated server donation :)
There is a list of public, external mirrors that have CentOS as well ... it is available here that might not have as much traffic:
http://www.centos.org/mirrors/
Otherwise, to use mirror.centos.org, the only possibility is to wait a day or so more.

It could be that the mirror you choose is not yet updated. The mirrors we use to rsync to external mirrors are also maxed out and currently all rsyncing at their bandwidth limits.

For a major upgrade, relatively painless. I had to restart the fetching headers phase 4 times and the package download phase twice over a period of about 24 hours. Now the upgrade is chugging away, oops done.

Sounds like CentOS has made great strides in polularity. One possibility is that if ISPs notice this, or we let our ISP know, they may setuip a mirrir to minimize their bandwidth usage, read costs. I know many ISPs are struggling.

Does CentOS announce (new versions) to everyone simultaneously ? If so, perhaps it might be better to 'pre-announce' to various mirrors & let them get everything loaded, then do the full public announcement ....

I can't say for sure with the mirrors, but those of us who were going to seed the torrent were downloading the night before the announcement so that when it hit, everyone would be going from a running start.

Do most the external mirrors automatically sync everything in the centos directory or do they mirror just parts of it?
If most the external mirrors automatically sync the whole tree, just let the external mirrors sync for a day or two before announcing.

Johnny,
I'm in the process of upgrading a number of servers, which will leave me with a few spares. Can you give me an idea of the hardware and bandwidth requirements for one of your mirrors? Perhaps I can provide a mirror from our datacenter in NYC.

This issue has been raised more than just a few times on the yum and yum-devel mailing lists and generally accepted as a bad idea. You might want to look through the history there and if you so like, re-raise as an issue..

Once you have a base copy you'd probably want to rsync. Maybe there would be a way to split the difference on the version rollouts where you bittorrent the isos or dvd image (which you'd want for subsequent installs anyway), then go back to normal yum mode. But, that's a lot of extra steps unless someone can script a yum-like upgrade straight from the downloaded iso/dvd images (i.e. no reboot until it is done - and it should work over the network, at least NFS).
