This may or may not be your problem, but make sure you configure yum to use 
relatively local mirrors. The full Fedora mirror list round-robins through 
hundreds of sites of somewhat varied connectivity and reliability

Changing to something like

mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-$releasever.us.
east

in /etc/yum.conf or /etc/yum.repos.d/* will probably help in general. The
above is what I use for machines in the Eastern US for which I've not set up
a private archive, and it works pretty well. tetex-fonts-2.0.2-21.3
downloads for me using those mirrors just fine....
