Are there any more mirrors?. go to the url specified in mirrorlist= in your .repo file for this repository and I'll bet it has only that one.
It certainly seems to be. I can change the list to the global one, but shouldn't the UK have more than one mirror, really?
it's not really a yum bug, though. I'll refile it against 'distribution'
Indeed, I (wrongly) assumed that there would be more than one mirror and yum was simply failing to iterate beyond the first. The global list works fine.
