This seems like a proxy error to me. Could you please double-check if your proxy indeed runs on port 800? Thanks.
The error happened with the proxy _disabled_, config file contains: enableProxy[comment]=Use a HTTP Proxy enableProxy=0 Apparently the ISP forces all http traffic through a proxy independently of any settings at my computer.
I installed up2date-2.6.0-7.x.38, up2date-gnome-2.6.0-7.x.38 and python-xmlrpc-1.5.0-1 from RawHide, and the problem is fixed.
