You don't say what's not working, but the first step would be to change
to using a mirror (or mirrors) rather than the primary server....

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
tolerant=1
exactarch=0
# Added this because some mirrors go down and then retying takes forever.
