Fix for "Metadata file does not match checksum" error

[Oxcoda Demo]

I have been getting the following error with yum for a couple of days
now (at two different sites with different ISPs) when using the Dag
repositories:

http://apt.sw.be/fedora/3/en/i386/dag/repodata/primary.xml.gz: [Errno
-1] Metadata file does not match checksum
Trying other mirror.
Error: failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from dag: [Errno 256] No more
mirrors to try.


The fix that worked for me was the flush the up stream proxies (I am
assuming my ISPs), using wget I ran:

wget --cache=off http://apt.sw.be/fedora/3/en/i386/dag/repodata/filelists.xml.gz
wget --cache=off http://apt.sw.be/fedora/3/en/i386/dag/repodata/primary.xml.gz
wget --cache=off http://apt.sw.be/fedora/3/en/i386/dag/repodata/repomd.xml

Then re-ran yum and everything worked!

I hope this helps someone.

Trent.
