FC6 and YUM problems after a clean install

[TheOlster]

OK a little while ago I did a clean install of FC6 and "yum update" gave the following:

[root@localhost ~]# yum update
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Update Process
Setting up repositories
http://zeniv.linux.org.uk/pub/distri...ta/repomd.xml: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out>
Trying other mirror.
http://zeniiia.linux.org.uk/pub/dist...ta/repomd.xml: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out>
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: core
[root@localhost ~]#

After a little frustration (and a couple of days later) I did another clean install and have exactly the same problem...

Any ideas?
