updating problem in fedora 11

[ipnswamy]

I was a fedora 8 user for the last 1 year. I have installed fedora 11. I am unable to install any rpm's as this is resulting in the following error.

Looks as if your repository mirror is currently not available. This is not uncommon these days. I would suggest to wait some time and then try it again. In most cases when I had this problem (e.g. yesterday), it works again after some time.

Hi everyone,
As CSchwangler has suggested it might have been a repository problem. It is working perfectly today. I have tested it several times today.


Thanks CSchwangler.:)
