Hi,
I've just installed a fresh CentOS 5.2
Now, I run "yum update" and I get:
"Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=os error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')> Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: base. Please verify its path and try again"
I have Internet connection, but I cant ping mirrorlist.centos.org and http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=os just stalls.
Is there another "mirror list" and if so, how do I configure it ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Warm Regards,

Ping works for me. Perhaps you have to retry.

I can ping it also, but nothing happens after :(

There seems to be a problem with mirrorlist

But it works fine from my work network which is on JANET... Looks like there's a routing issue somewhere...

there's likely something misconfigured in your network, dns, firewall, NAT ..

Hi,
Isn't there another repo one can manually configure ?

Hi,
I solved the problem.
Just edited file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo and added &cc=pt at the end of each repo. Like:
&repo=extras&cc=pt
Thus, I get a Portuguese repo.
This can be made with all the countrie's TLD. They're using GEO-IP for about 100 repositories.
We can override the system like I did.

I would just wait until it's fixed. (It's fixed now!)

One of the mirrorlist servers has been down today (but now works again). If you happen to hit the bad one, the above can happen.
