Thanks Scott for the above comments.  That seems to have solved my 
problem.  It took a couple of tries, but now I am updating over 100 
pkgs.  Thank you.

Mary Ellen, I don't think I have the yum-plugins.  This FC6T3 install is 
a basic distro install and I did not find the "fastestmirror" option. 
But I appreciate the try.
