Fedora 18 - yum constantly timing out - culprit seems to be fastestmirror plugin

Did a yum update with Fedora 18 and got nothing but timeouts and 404 not found errors.  yum clean metdata      and yum clean all      and (a reboot) were all of no help. However yum --disableplugin=fastestmirror update completely fixed the problem. Trying other mirror. http://mirror.nexcess.net/rpmfusion/nonfree/fedora/updates/18/x86_64/repodata/8b5178f2b98050e518752afe8fbe527c4d7a53bde138a7f3ce276766ec71869e-comps.xml.gz: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://mirror.nexcess.net/rpmfusion/nonfree/fedora/updates/18/x86_64/repodata/8b5178f2b98050e518752afe8fbe527c4d7a53bde138a7f3ce276766ec71869e-comps.xml.gz: (28, 'Operation too slow.
