Hah yeah I just ran into this myself, trying to figure out why yum had gone braindead and was just staring back at me. Finally (~10 minutes later) it timed out and I realized the issue is that http://apt.sw.be is currently unreachable. Since RPMforge's yum configs are set up to pull a mirror list from that site, the whole house of cards comes down when it's unavailable.
Hm... what's the point of mirrors if there's a single point of failure? :D
