I just tried updating with yum and  have no difficulity reaching the
F8 repositories. (According to yum there are 63 updates available for
my system.)  I do not use the fastestmirror plugin. You might try
disabling fastestmirrors and try updating again, or use another
package manager such as smart or apt-get.
