----
the fact that it tries to use the 3 mirrors in Austria sure makes it
look like you are using fastest mirror plugin but it should work
regardless but there have been times when mirrors are out of sync.

I would probably try to put the mirror list URL back and get back to
original configuration and assume that your problem was temporary or
other configuration issue and not yum per se - especially if you are
having problems downloading with wget, that would indicate something
else is the problem.

I would want to make sure that Internet is working properly (ie, Firefox
or something) and then if necessary, comment out the mirror URL and put
in a base URL from one of the mirrors directly...
