Hi, It's a problem with the mirror you are using (209.132.176.122), it seems to be bogus or out of sync: On Fri, Jul 17, 2009 at 08:14, Timothy Murphy<gayleard at eircom.net> wrote: > [tim at elizabeth ~]$ wget --no-check-certificate > https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink > --2009-07-17 13:06:22-- https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink > Resolving mirrors.fedoraproject.org... 209.132.176.122 > Connecting to mirrors.fedoraproject.org|209.132.176.122|:443... connected. > WARNING: certificate common name `fedoraproject.org' doesn't match requested > host name `mirrors.fedoraproject.org'. > HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found > 2009-07-17 13:06:23 ERROR 404: Not Found. I am getting mirror 209.132.176.120 (and some others), which seems to be working OK: > $ wget https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink > --12:54:34-- https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink > Resolving mirrors.fedoraproject.org... 209.132.176.120, 152.46.7.222, 66.35.62.166, ... > Connecting to mirrors.fedoraproject.org|209.132.176.120|:443... connected. > HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK > Length: 53 [text/plain] > Saving to: `metalink' > > 100%[=======================================>] 53 --.-K/s in 0s > > 12:54:35 (1.41 MB/s) - `metalink' saved [53/53] I see you also tried to access the IP directly (wget http://66.35.62.166/mirrorlist) but that does not work probably because the server uses virtual hosts and the default virtual host is probably not the one you want. It's possible to work around that by using --header 'Host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org' in the wget command line. For example, the same host I used above: > $ wget --header 'Host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org' http://209.132.176.120/metalink > --12:56:07-- http://209.132.176.120/metalink > Connecting to 209.132.176.120:80... connected. > HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK > Length: 53 [text/plain] > Saving to: `metalink' > > 100%[=======================================>] 53 --.-K/s in 0s > > 12:56:08 (3.94 MB/s) - `metalink' saved [53/53] And the one you are using: > $ wget --header 'Host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org' http://209.132.176.122/metalink > --12:56:12-- http://209.132.176.122/metalink > Connecting to 209.132.176.122:80... connected. > HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found > 12:56:12 ERROR 404: Not Found. To work around this issue, I suggest you add a line with "209.132.176.122 mirrors.fedoraproject.org" to your /etc/hosts, and also contact the Fedora project to inform them that this specific mirror is bad... You might also try to flush your DNS cache to see if you get a new IP for that domain. HTH, Filipe
