I would recommend that you install yum-plugin-fastestmirror and enable
plugins in /etc/yum.conf by adding:

plugins=1

Then you can rollover to 10 mirrors using the default configuration.

The up2date issue happened because of a bug with handling obsoletes ...
which is fixed in an update :P

also ... header issues normally mean you need to clean your yum
cache ....

yum clean cache
