The issues with various .redhat.com URLs and fedoraproject.org are known, 
and we are working on them.

Lots of traffic today.

Thanks for your patience.

Use the torrents.  :-)

Fedora Core 5 i386 won't update anymore:

# yum -y upgrade
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Upgrade Process
Setting up repositories
core                                                                 [1/3]
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core

I wonder if it's related to the problem you are describing or it's a policy to purge the previous version on the very day when the next version is released. The yum configuration is default. The mirror list is suggesting:

Until then, please visit our BitTorrent tracker or list of mirrors if you are trying to download Fedora Core 6.

What if I'm not trying to download Fedora Core 6 yet? I think mirror lists should be kept far away from the actual download locations, just like the torrents.
