So I verified for that host, and was able to connect to that mirror (and fetch the repodata file) from multiple locations in .US and .EU (even if it's slow) The fact that you have "connection refused" is something else and not related to the mirror not being up2date/current : we don't know if : - you have firewall rules in place between your node and that mirror restricting outbound access - there are firewall rules on that mirror node/network that prevent some subnets to reach it -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
