yum update --disableplugin=presto,fast*
Setting up Update Process
Could not retrieve mirrorlist 
http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock error 
was
12: Timeout on 
http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock: (28, 
'connect() timed out!')
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: base. 
Please verify its path and try again
