You encountered what I consider one of the biggest annoyances with up2date. You get notification about available updates, run up2date, and the repository and/or mirror from mirrorlist has not gotten resynced..
So here are some possible actions that you can take:
- Do not react immediately upon receiving an update notification.
Wait several hours before trying so that the mirrors can sync up. 2. Disable the update agent. Perform updates manually or update via a cron job. 3. File either an RFE or a bug report in Bugzzilla, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/ .
- Configure up2date to use a fast mirror for you rather than relying
on the default mirror list. If up2date and rhn-applet are looking at the same mirror you won't have any problem.
Tried both the mirrorlist and fast local mirrors
Mirror_s_. As long as you have multiple mirrors configured there is a chance that one will update before another. Pointing to a single mirror will eliminate that.

What mirror are you using to get such good results?
A local lan-only one, but _what_ mirror doesn't matter, the _number_ of mirrors being more than one is what matters.
