The domain I am on is a .ca domain and trying to get the nearest 
repositories.  Also the way that I cut out much of the chaff.  These are 
also from the log file.

As for the long hex string.  I still saw those on Friday.

I tried again and after about three runs, after re-installing fedup, I 
finally get to "not finding the image".  I tried it as I was trying to 
run out the door for the weekend.

It is success.  I will try again on Monday to see where I get.

I need to change a setting on yum for timeouts due to the firewall 
checking every file, it can be slow.  Of course, a Win 8.1 update I did 
yesterday took over 5 hours on a laptop on my home network.  No progress 
indicator on the downloads is frustrating.
