I just helped someone with up2date on the IRC channel, we discovered a 
documentation bug:

http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs/up2date-fc1-reconfigure.php

gives this configuration for /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources:

# Fedora Legacy FC1 os repository
yum os http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/1/os/i386/
# Fedora Legacy FC1 updates repository
yum os http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/1/updates/i386/
# Fedora Legacy FC1 legacy-utils repository
yum os http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/1/legacy-utils/i386/

Those three lines should have different repository names, like "os",
"updates" and "legacy-utils", or up2date does weird things, like give
errors such as "I/O error: Not a gzipped file".  Here is the fixed 
config:

# Fedora Legacy FC1 os repository
yum os http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/1/os/i386/
# Fedora Legacy FC1 updates repository
yum updates http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/1/updates/i386/
# Fedora Legacy FC1 legacy-utils repository
yum legacy-utils http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/1/legacy-utils/i386/
