Greetings,
I am running Fedora 20 x86_64 with all updates.

scanned in several occasions, by different people.

1968summer.jpg
to the list: I think there's still more to this issue than what
already said. In detail, answering both to Sudhir and Roger (thanks
for your quick answers!)

There's an issue with the f20 updates repo metalink in mirrormanager.
We were hoping to have it fixed up quickly, but it's of course proving
more difficult than it seems at first. ;(
Anyhow, folks are working on it, and we hope to have it fixed later
