That would be a great plugin... Repo is down... continue with it
disabled? [y/n]


Just a thought... Not that I could program it. But its happened to me
before that I had to do that, so automatically doing it or asking me
would be awesome.

FWIW I have a similar issue which seems to be due to some sort of DNS
lookup problem. In my case I'd get the 'Name or service not known' for
download1.rpmfusion.org.

My /etc/nsswitch.conf file says to use files and dns

The /etc/resolv.conf is setup properly

I tried disabling ipv6 completely but the symptoms stay the same

ping and firefox seem to resolve the addresses correctly, but wget and
ssh do not

The failures occur for only some sites (like linuxdownload.adobe.com
and download1.rpmfusion.org) but do not occur with others
(like download.fedoraproject.org iirc). The failures consistently
occur for the same sites

Putting the IP addresses in /etc/hosts "works around" the problem

No idea what's going on...

Cheers,
Christian

No, reread what the OP said: "pasting: <url> into firefox downloads the
file without issue".

This is not a "site is down" issue...

1. Do you have any proxies setup?
2. What are the nameserver entries in /etc/resolv.conf?

Just my home ADSL router (192.168.1.1)

I used dhclient to obtain an IP address, and it also setup
the /etc/resolv.conf file.

I have another Fedora 8 box connected to the same router, and there are
no DNS problems there.

Not for me. I had a similar problem yesterday on a "svn up". Trying a
second time immediately afterwards worked. Has happened a few times
since F-10 upgrade.

What does 'svn up' have to do with yum?

After using F10 for a longer time, I believe that the issue might be a more general DNS issue than just YUM.* I have been getting more failed lookups under F10 than under Windows or F9.

I noticed this as well. I just updated my WiFi-only laptop (full install)
to Fedora 10. Doing something as simple as 'yum update' now fails with
tons of DNS lookup failures. Very odd because I'm using a repository mirror
(baseurl) to a machine in the next room :-( Retries give similar, but different,
failures.
