Just after the UP2date Channels window, you get packages flagged to be
skipped, with a progress dialog box
It says it is fetching [mirrorname/releases]
underneath that is says [fedora-core-1/headers/headers.info]

and stays there forever, once I left it for a day it never budged.
Tried a few different mirrors from fedora.redhat.com with no change.
