If you click on your url above, in your browser, what do you get????

Doing it here gives me this.

# repo = updates-released-f10 arch = i386 country = AU
http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/f...dates/10/i386/
http://ga13.files.bigpond.com:4040/f...dates/10/i386/
http://ga14.files.bigpond.com:4040/f...dates/10/i386/
http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/fedo...dates/10/i386/
http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/fedora/l...dates/10/i386/
http://mirror.optus.net/fedora/linux/updates/10/i386/
http://ringtail.its.monash.edu.au/pu...dates/10/i386/

So looks like that link gives you the closest mirrors to you, maybe it's not working for you?
If that's the case, you can find a mirror near you and just enter that url into yum.conf instead

Sorry Patel, that's about the end of my expertise, you're right about the mirrors being in yum.repos.d.
I've tried opening you're mirror links and as you say, they open OK.

You could try putting a # in front of the mirror list line, and insert one of those url's in it's place as a base url.
I've done this with mine because, my isp doesn't count downloads against my usage, where as it does for the other sites.
Here's mine for an example.

[updates]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - Updates
failovermethod=priority
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
#mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f$releasever&arch=$basearch
#baseurl=http://mirror.3fl.net.au/pub/fedora/linux/updates/10/i386/
baseurl=http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/fedora/linux/updates/10/i386/
