Output from these two commands should be self-explanatory:


$ sudo dnf --releasever=23 --setopt=deltarpm=false distro-sync --nogpgcheck

My public IP is 86.135.5.33 and I'm in UK, FWIW.


This is not expected to work pre-release if you modify your repo files.

You seem to have commented out the metalink and in the baseurl in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo

With the metalink the server can direct you to the right place. With the simple download baseurl it only can once that location actually exists.

So, fix your fedora.repo to use the metalink and it should work.

Can you confirm that works?

Ouch. In my defence, IIRC I did that to workaround an issue with mirrors at some point. But of course forgot about it since. :)

Yeah, uncommenting the meta link, helps. Thanks so much for your quick reply.
