error with package downloads: no more mirrors to try

satanic-yobbo · #1 2nd June 2008, 03:10 AM

i have just installed f9 from a live disk (on an x86_64 on amd athalon 64 bit dual core ) and tried to add some applications but first had to download software updates but when i did this i got an error saying that package download failed and there are no more mirrors to try and to check my network connection but as i am and always are connected properly i think it is something to do with a failed checksum maybe ?? this is the first time i have used fedora at all but i am not new to linux ( used ubuntu for 6-8 months) but still dont know a great deal about it just enough to know that i need help with this problem.. any ideas or help on how to fix this would be appreciated

Hello:

It may simply be that the mirrors are in the process of syncing, so I would just wait a while and then try the yum check-update again.
It is not uncommon and will likely be corrected within an hour or two.

1. Reviving old threads won't help.
2. F8 is no longer supported. Please use F11 or better yet F12. Backup data first and do a fresh install. We'll be able to help then, else not.

***Dan*** · #8 2nd March 2010, 06:59 PM

And as F8 has reached End of Life, and this is probably better suited to be a separate thread.
