Thank you for the report.

Unfortunately we have been experiencing ongoing DDoS attacks against our infrastructure for some time now, and as a result connections may be intermittent or disrupted at times. Often when you try again a connection may be made.

As a workaround, you can comment out the mirrorlist line in /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo and update baseurl to point to a local mirror of your choosing, which will eliminate your reliance on our infrastructure and resolve the issue for you.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Marked as resolved - no change required, as there really is little more we can do at this stage. We continue to take mitigation steps against the DDoS attack where appropriate and possible.
