Was just doing a (very) belated update on a 7.5 system and ran into
this set of errors:

I then browsed to the mirror shown above and downloaded the files with
no trouble. I then did "yum localupdate" for the three downloaded
files
and they installed just fine.
so, anybody know why we're getting the 416 error from yum but not from
firefox?
a little searching for that error indicates it is some kind of problem
on the web host, I think. but it's weird.
I don't need help, I'm good, but perhaps someone needs to look at
whatever
mis-configuration on the host(s) causes that.
I originally left the repo file alone so it attempted to use the repolist
but every repo failed. I then changed it to use the baseurl but it didn't
help. So whatever the problem is, it isn't with just a single host.
