Yeah, the mirrors are overloaded with everyone installing and updating.
 Keep trying.

Took me forever just to do a yum update on FC5 tonight.  I think it was
9 or 10 attempts before I was able to download 27 RPMs and install them.
 And I had to edit the fedora-core and fedora-updates repos to use the
base_url (download.fedora.redhat.com) instead of the mirror_list
(fedora.redhat.com).
