Description Rodd Clarkson 2006-02-05 09:33:15 UTC 
Description of problem:

Running yum I get the following output when it struggles to find a mirror.

It's worth noting that my internet connection wasn't 100%, but I still wouldn't
expect this sort of an outcome (traceback instead of a nice message).

Here's the output:

Here's another example (which I think says the same thing, but it might be useful)

I believe this is now fixed in the latest urlgrabber release in rawhide.
