Chris,

To minimize my WAN traffic, I rsync the F13 release and update mirrors
from //download.fedora.redhat.com to local repos every day, then yum
update all my systems using those locals (rather like RHEL's Satellite).
I've not seen any difficulties like you describe. (I'd be happy to send
you copies of those scripts if you'd like.)
