Hi.
The EPEL repo is very helpful, thanks for it!
I can no longer download EPEL RPMs using /bin/rpm after the move from download.fedora.redhat.com to download.fedoraproject.org.
# rpm -ihv http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.... Retrieving http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.... error: skipping http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch....

This is because download.fedoraproject.org is a redirect to a mirror. rpm (in rhel5) doesn't follow them.
Could you please fix this?
You can wget the file and install it with yum/rpm locally, or you could use 'dl.fedoraproject.org' which is a direct hostname to the master mirrors.
Thanks and congratulations for moving out from redhat.com and to your own domain.
The download.fedora.redhat.com host has been pointing to fedora mirrors for about 2 years now. We only just removed it to make sure people were no longer using it. ;)
