I think you are confusing two different things.

Removing the atrpms channel simply removes the use of the third party 
rpms that Axel kindly builds for FC. This is completely different to not 
using the mirror of the official fedora update channel that the atrpms 
server also hosts. This is explained in Axel's post.

So instead of trying to disable the atrpms channel, you need to look 
into the mirrors you are using for the standard update channel. I think ;)

I guess the reason it is now working is because the the mirror at atrpms 
is now back on line ?
