I checked at work and two versions of shadow-utils were on my system. 
After I erased one version (older one) and tried to get updates, it 
seemed to be trying to download the rpms.

For some reason, on the ncsu mirror, none of the glibc packages were 
located in the directory. They must have been in the headers, but not 
actually there.
When I checked the fedora.redhat.com mirror, there were versions on 
there glibc-2.3.3-20 instead of glibc-2.3.3-22 (etc).

In contrast hiwaay mirror seems to be working fine. I have 
glibc-2.3.3-22 and friends successfully installed on this machine.
