Sorry for taking so long.

It is http:// and it works for yum and yumex.

Today, doing updates I think I found the issue.  Our corporate firewall 
does bandwidth management and if you download over a certain amount of 
data, it starts to throttle the path.  This will be a subject of another 
message.

When it does this, it blocks site access and becomes slow, very slow.  I 
have come to the conclusion that fedup won't work through the firewall 
because of this.  I will have to create a local mirror to use fedup.

Running fedup multiple times finally got to the point that it said it 
didn't have a boot image.  I was already late so I didn't try anything 
after that.
