Hello everyone,
Given the version 5 EOL two weeks ago, I reckon people have scrapped their mirrors. I'm based in France, and I've checked:
http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=os which returned:

http://centos.quelquesmots.fr/5.11/os/i386/

http://mirror.neify.es/centos/5.11/os/i386/
http://mirror.plusserver.com/centos/5.11/os/i386/From this list ONLY http://miroir.univ-paris13.fr/centos/5.11/os/i386/ is still working. Similarly, http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=x86_64&repo=os returned:http://mir01.syntis.net/CentOS/5.11/os/x86_64/
http://fr.mirror.babylon.network/centos/5.11/os/x86_64/

http://mirror.in2p3.fr/linux/CentOS/5.11/os/x86_64/
http://mirror.neify.es/centos/5.11/os/x86_64/And of this list ONLY http://mirror.in2p3.fr/linux/CentOS/5.11/os/x86_64/ is still working.Wouldn't therefore be better to reduce these lists to only the working mirrors?Thanks,Vlad

You seem to be using CentOS 5, which went EOL at the end of March. 
Please migrate to a newer release, such as CentOS 6, or preferably 
CentOS 7. There will be no more updates published for CentOS 5.

If you have further concerns about this, please use the main CentOS 
mailing list, https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
