Our corporate firewall does bandwidth management and if you download over a certain amount of data, it starts to throttle the path. This will be a subject of another message. When it does this, it blocks site access and becomes slow, very slow. I have come to the conclusion that fedup won't work through the firewall because of this. I will have to create a local mirror to use fedup. Running fedup multiple times finally got to the point that it said it didn't have a boot image. I was already late so I didn't try anything after that.

It certainly appears that a lot of the .ca repos (e.g. http://www.muug.mb.ca) are returning 403 errors, yet you say you can update. My guess is there's something very wrong with your fedup configuration such as having a bad list of repos. My fedup logs, for example, don't show downloading any of that repodata with the long hex strings in front, but then again, my fedups worked. Try reinstalling fedup: yum reinstall fedup and try the fedup operation again. -- The domain I am on is a .ca domain and trying to get the nearest repositories.

I still saw those on Friday. I tried again and after about three runs, after re-installing fedup, I finally get to not finding the image. I tried it as I was trying to run out the door for the weekend. It is success. I will try again on Monday to see where I get. I need to change a setting on yum for timeouts due to the firewall checking every file, it can be slow. Of course, a Win 8.1 update I did yesterday took over 5 hours on a laptop on my home network.

According to bug 892994, fedup is supposed to use the proxy setting in yum.conf. I might try the --instrepo= flag to see if that makes any difference than trying to go through the mirrors.

Fedup won't use the proxy server where I work. I can download packages and do yum updates by command line or yumex on the machine for updates. sudo yum update works as expected. I cannot run fedup. I get error messages for every server tried as 403'd. This is from the log file. [ 4.623] (II) fedup.yum:log_grab_failure() http://fedora.mirror.gtcomm.net/releases/21/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/503597f15d6c693a96558f46fbd8ebb5853b92ef528de2a7d55a4dd021162873-comps-f21.xml.xz: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden I can access the archives via web browser and download files from the sites so they are not blocked when using Firefox. So from this, I am assuming that fedup isn't using the proxy settings in the yum configuration files or I have something configured wrong that I am missing. I really don't want to have to upgrade manually again.
