EPEL REPO - Problem


Code:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm
I am trying to add this repo in my centos 6 64 bit. But i am getting the following error

Code:
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'download.fedora.redhat.com'
error: skipping http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm - transfer failed
I tried epel/5/ and epel/6/
Both are not working

Well, you can just use 'wget' instead :

wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...6-5.noarch.rpm

.... And then : 1) su 2) rpm -Uvh epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm

.

Yes, I was using wget. It is now working. There should be some network problem i think.
Thank you
