A good feature for internet facing servers but can it be tweeked? I think the yum client in FC4 along with some casual browsing is triggering IP blocks. Also, yum tends to connect and disconnect several times during a transaction which may be affecting things on your end.

For example, I just did the following in an effort to install mythtv on my FC4 box:

1) Used Safari to browse atrpms.net
2) Used yum on FC4 to install sudo from the FC4 base channel (at- stable is in my /etc/yum.repos.d/ dir) 3) Ran "yum update mythtv mythtvplugins" (result: no packages found, none installed) 4) Used Safari to browse atrpms.net again to see why mythtv packages were missing 5) Ran "yum update" to update the older FC3 atrpms.net packages I previously installed

At step 5 my ip was blocked and yum gives me an error when trying to access the repodata for at-stable and aborts all transactions. I'm not sure this was being abusive but I clearly wasn't using a download accelerator or doing anything out of the ordinary.

If you want to check your logs look for the IP 66.57.80.76 between 13:00 and 14:00 ET

You most likely don't hear this enough, thanks for the help and the atrpms.net service.
