You are not alone, livna.org has also died here. I assumed the machine
was down and that it would get elbowed in the ribs to wake it up, but 
after
2+ days of no contact, during the week, that seems a less likely
situation.

Here, yum hangs for an extended time before erroring out while
attempting to access livna.org.  Several minutes.

So we are wondering when it will be restored as I understand there is 
gtk2 update because of serious security concerns.
