yum locking up

[Rob Freeman]

I would try it and see how it works for you.  It just all depends on what
speeds you will get from the available server.  My list that works for me
might not work nearly as well for you, and visa versa.

I have been using the http://ayo.freshrpms.net/ with good success on my end.

The full listing of mirrors can be found here:

http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html

Hope it all works out.
