Subject: Fwd: Yum Update error. Is the mirror down?

Dear Sir / Madam
Each tile I try to run yum update, The following error is been generated.
yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=i386 error was
[Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: epel

Is this a sign of possible issue with the mirror site.
Regards
Niji
