Is there a problem with the download.fedora.redhat.com system or is it my problem? I have been using this FTP and HTTP server for Fedora updates for quite awhile with no problems, but several days ago it stopped accepting connections from the system that handles package updates for all of my servers and clients. No errors are returned, there is just no response. It does resolve correctly in the DNS: 209.132.183.67. I can connect to this server from other systems outside of my domain, but none of my own clients or servers can get a connection to open on the download.fedora.redhat.com server. I can connect to other FTP and web sites without any problems. A traceroute gets as far as redhat-2.border1.phx004.pnap.net (69.25.121.26) and stops there after fourteen hops.
I would appreciate some help or suggestions in resolving this problem.
Thanks,
Bill
There are many mirrors out there. The mirror http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/ ? it has never failed and it is very fast.
Hi JD,
Thank you for the suggestion. I have tried the mirrors.kernel.org today and have found that it will work very well. It is fast and I know that it will be reliable. I have been very frustrated in my search for new mirrors to use for Fedora updates. I could not find a new mirror list and the old one I had or did find had entries for servers that were no longer in service or had not been updated in years!
Thanks again!
Bill
