Mark,

as mentioned earlier , configure your up2date to use mirrors... the main 
server is very loaded with all those updates (and it's been a busy week 
, with two kernel updates on fedora and one on the various versions of 
red hat)...
On http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html you can get a big list 
of mirrors...
