It was up for brief periods but down for longer periods. Interestingly
enough, it is down right *now*:
ping updates.redhat.com
PING updates.redhat.com (199.183.24.193): 56 data bytes
--- updates.redhat.com ping statistics ---
12 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss

NcFTP. It *does* give me an error ("host not responding to commands,
giving up", "no route to host"), *not* "Too many concurrent users, please
try again later or use a mirror site". Often, pings are not returned
during these outages. (ftp.redhat.com and www.redhat.com work so it 'aint
*my* connection).
I just find contrib... and updates... rather odd due to the yo-yo nature
I've been seeing. ftp.redhat.com is almost *never* like that...
