Error Whilst trying to yum update.

[niji ogunbameru]

Dear Sir / Madam
Your mirrors are not working
For such an important software, why is it so difficult to get yum update 
for Fedora 14 without an official resolution from fedora.org for this 
common embarrassing issue littering the internet.
  yum update
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Adding en_US to language list
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: 
fedora. Please verify its path and try again

Can somebody from the Source help.

Kind regards

Can you post your /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo file?  No one else has reported a failure.

Thanks,

Works here if I try it:

$ curl "http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=i386"
# repo = epel-5 arch = i386 country = DE 
http://fedora.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/fedora-epel/5/i386/
http://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/epel/5/i386/
http://vesta.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/ftp/pub/Linux/fedora-epel/5/i386/
http://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/linux/fedora-epel/5/i386/
http://mirror.fraunhofer.de/download.fedora.redhat.com/epel/5/i386/
http://epel.uni-oldenburg.de/5/i386/
http://ftp.uni-koeln.de/mirrors/fedora/epel/5/i386/

What do you get if you try that command?
