yes is all well and good for you, but the rest of us are looking at 
several days worth of typing 'yum update' (FC1) only to have it hang 
at the downloading headers line, and 10 minutes later give it a 
ctrl-c.  4 or 5 times so far since yesterday morning around this 
time.  This with a std FC1 yum.conf with an added freshrpms section 
and a "no touch" on the kernel since I build 2.6.x from kernel.org, 
currently 2.6.7-mm3.

It may eventually work, but the lack of iron (or sufficient data pipe 
to) in the regular fedora download machine is very frustrating.
