more mirrors to try.

/etc/yum.conf has no changes since install from scratch (fedora core 4 DVD).
/etc/yum.repos.d has only one addition:

[crash-hat]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - CrashHat
baseurl=http://crash.fce.vutbr.cz/crash-hat/$releasever
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/Petr.Kristof-GPG-KEY


I Have tried a download with lftp and wget (from fedora.redhat.com), but blocks too...

Thanks for any hints,

Luc
