When I try to use up2date it freezes up when trying to download updates? Sometimes it says that the gnu license is bad and asks to continue anyway. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a link where I could find an updated/fixed up2date rpm?

Scott are you using dialup by chance? I too have had problems with up2date. My problem is a little different and only seems to happen with larger downloads. (i.e. a kernel update)

My solution is to use the RHN-applet to discover what packages need to be updated, then to use gftp to go to one of the Fedora Core mirror sites and manually download the updates, then rpm -Uvh the updates. I find it a whole lot faster!

I have similar problems ("..gnu license.." gpg signature error?, and stalled download). Maybe i'm wrong but I think it's a problem of the official servers which are overloaded. I fix it by editing /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources and adding mirror repository taken from http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html. Now it works pretty well.

For example a part of my /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources "... yum fedora-core-1-mirror ftp://ftp.dulug.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/os/ #mirror

yum updates-released_mirror_2 ftp://ftp.dulug.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/i386/ #mirror

yum updates-testing_mirror_2 ftp://ftp.dulug.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/1/i386/ ...". I leave the lines which refer to the official servers (and i simply don't check the relative channel when up2date shows the list) and but i think that they could be commented if you want.
