IIRC, up2date out of the box doesn't try mirrors, so you just get the
extremely slow RH servers.

The easiest way to set up yum is to install the sample yum.conf
mentioned in the FAQ:

http://www.fedorafaq.org/samples/yum.conf

save as /etc/yum.conf, then run

    # yum update

you'll probably find it a lot faster.
