Hey Michael,

Curious.  What version of yum are you using?

Looking at these lines in a freshly-downloaded repomd.xml from
download.fedoralegacy.org versus an sha1sum of a freshly-downloaded
primary.xml.gz, it appears that the checksum should match:

  <data type="primary">
    <location href="repodata/primary.xml.gz"/>
    <checksum type="sha">ac9fbb74145e3e77e1c2354c1ee0e9de25385a48</checksum>
    <timestamp>1134883655</timestamp>

versus

    $ sha1sum primary.xml.gz
    ac9fbb74145e3e77e1c2354c1ee0e9de25385a48  primary.xml.gz

Perhaps the headers are corrupted on your system and need to be re-down-
loaded.  Have you tried:

   # yum clean headers
   # yum check-update

?
