You're welcome :-D

I'm aware of the problem : The main server in the US is getting old, and
one of the hard drives of the main /var/ftp logical volume has bad blocks,
which caused some crashes last week :-( I've been moving services over to
a different server here in Spain, but in the meantime metadata generation
got stopped (over the week-end, more or less) and re-synced only now.
Since most Fedora users use the default mirror list for the updates, it
shouldn't have impacted many. For people using http://ayo.freshrpms.net/
for Fedora Core updates, yes, they're only available now, sorry!

Today, rsync and metadata generation should be moved for good to the new
server, and later this week the websites and databases should follow ;-)
