Are you sure you are asking on the correct list? I feel this is a
question for the fedora-list at redhat.com and no specific test release
topic.

If HTTP is permitted through the firewall, yum and up2date configured to
use HTTP mirror servers should work properly without problems.

You can reach each repository mirror server using your web browser.
