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!
Cheers,

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.
Best Regards
