yes, this helped a lot - thanks for looking closer than I did!

I had enabled the mirror stuff in sl.repo and sl-updates.repo (after 
finding sl-base-6.txt in Google's cache) for the recent downtime of the 
scientificlinux servers, and at the time, this worked so well (i.e. the 
German and Swiss mirrors were so much faster) that I left it enabled 
afterwards.

It's a pity that the mirror system does not seem to be fully operational.

thanks,

Kay
