Following with solutions to many of these issues...

This turned out to be a mirror issue. Somehow even after rebooting it 
still picked the same mirror that was having a problem. I edited the 
fedora-updates.repo file and hardcoded an IP address for one of the 
mirrors that I knew was working properly.

Thanks,
