So it looks like rpm is happy (ie: using http to get the package).

This is puzzling and I don't know what to say.
What happens if you take the complete url and use wget (from the command
line) to get it? If that works it would sound like a yum configuration
problem - but I can't think of anything that could fail like that.

Did you have to configure a proxy for your browser?
Otherwise I would have to know at what exact time and from what ip
address you are trying to access the ccrma repo so that I can check the
http logs to see if there are any clues left around... It does not make
sense as any problem with the Planet CCRMA repo would manifest itself in
other http accesses to the same domain - I would have to triple check
but I don't think there's any difference, it is the same web server. Are
you able to browse the CCRMA site? (http://ccrma.stanford.edu/)
Sorry you are having trouble...
