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

May I ask why you are not using yum's ability to get mirrorlists?

Something like this in your .repo file should work,
...
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=...
...
