dl.atrpms.net has vendor and legacy updates with all three metadata
formats, apt, yum20 and yum. Until fedoralegacy introduces the new
metadata support, you can use ATrpms'.

For FC2/i386 this is under

http://dl.atrpms.net/fc2-i386/redhat/updates/
http://dl.atrpms.net/fc2-i386/redhat/updates-legacy/

In order to ease on resources I'm maintaining the updates split as
above, so that metadata recreation takes less time. The mirror and
metadata recreation scripts run hourly.

(but note that today there is a maintenance downtime:
