I was having the same problem. I changed to a different mirror site and up2date returned to normal operation.
I can confirm Craig's results. Configuring Sources to use www.fedora.redhat.com. It my coincidential, but after sourcing from fedora.redhat.com, the update fails on the coreutils-5.0-34.1 package with a GPG verification error. This was the same package what was being updated with the original failure when kernel.org was the source. ------------------------------------------ [root@host207-null rhn]# up2date -u Fetching package list for channel: fedora-core-1...

I get this "Not a gzipped file" error (only on some systems) when using the kernel.org mirror. When switched back to download.fedora.redhat it works OK though very slowly. I have other systems downloading from the kernel.org mirror without problems --- so I do not believe it is a problem at the mirror. Possibly timing issues??? The faster mirror is 'too fast'???? How do I turn the traceback on???? So I can give a better report.
probabaly a corrupt package list problem... rm -rf /var/spool/up2date/fedora* and try again
I deleted the cache previously and it did not fix the problem. I have been using yum recently which did fix the problem :-)
Fedora Core 1 is maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thanks! NOTE: Fedora Core 1 is reaching the final end of support even by the Legacy project. After Fedora Core 6 Test 2 is released (currently scheduled for July 26th), there will be no more security updates for FC1. Please use these next two weeks to upgrade any remaining FC1 systems to a current release.
Closing per lack of response. Note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy. Please install a still supported version and retest. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4 and is a security issue, please assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. Note that up2date is not present in FC5 or FC6, the only current non-Legacy Fedora Core releases. However, related bugs may occur in yum, pirut, or other updating mechanisms.
