Just went to update a couple systems this morning, and first one machine took nearly 15 min to find the mirrors (and it should be getting it all from our own repo, actually), and then the next one showed about 8-10 mirrors down, including Harvard and VCU. Anyone know what's going on?

debugging yum issues is almost always best done from your local client instance. Running yum with -d9 would be a good place to start from.

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.
From yum -d9 update:

And it's still going. What we have here is a massive problem with the mirrors.
So, any *real* idea what's going on?

Doesn't look to be a mirror.harvard.edu in DNS.
From yum -d9 update:
yum update runs instantly for me from NYC just now. Yum was working a half-hour back from NY too.

Same here, from both NYC (roadrunner), and work (Verizon commercial, LIC).

Other then http://mirror.harvard.edu/ everything referenced in your test is showing as up.

No major problems here. One epel mirror failed, but the next one it tried worked and everything kept going.

I cant reproduce the issue, but from the looks of things, you seem to have a bad network locally to you. I'd doubt the whole internet had fallen apart at exactly the same time.
Also, if you are using fastestmirror, that shold find and remove from the yum run any url to a machine that isnt available at the time.

I can fetch http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/mirrors-rpmforge just fine on my dialup connection via localnet.com

These are all with Firefox.
You might want to double check things at your end. If *I* can fetch these URLs with a low-end funky dialup connection, I would guess that the *servers* are fine. Something else is wrong. Maybe someone did something screwy with a firewall or router somewhere? Or maybe a router has just gone bad.

Same here. Running 'yum check-update' on my normally superfast dedicated server (in a datacenter in France) takes ages.
