Hi, I have a freshly installed Fedora 41 on my PC and sudo dnf update doesn’t work. Some repos load fine but most of them give me Curl error (28): Timeout was reached for ***.

Somewhere I saw that someone had this problem while dualbooting windows, and the answer was to get into windows and set time to UTC which I did, and yes my time is set correcly, but that just doesn’t fix the issue.
Also I have seen fix for something similar to this on a post about Fedora 41 Beta, that included running sudo dnf5 update instead of sudo dnf update, as well as running update command with --refresh but none of that seems to work for me.
I’m a newbie, if anyone could help me out I would be really thankful.

That looks like a network issue. You can try to browse using firefox to one of the URLs that timedout.

FYI please avoid postinhg screen shots of text. copy-n-paste then select and choose the </> buttom for pre-formatted text.

Noted for the next time.

I have tried accessing one of them through firefox and, while it does take some time those URLs do open.

Edit: It seems that only ones that are timing out now are http://ciscobinary.openh264.org/ and indeed I can’t access them even through firefox.
Now I get

The mirror you are timing out on looks odd.
What does dnf repolist report?

You can probe for the mirror manually.
Here is what I see:

From that command I get:

I am not using WIFI, but it does seem like its my ethernet connection. After connecting to my phones hotspot, sudo dnf update works just fine. Seems like it isn’t a problem with my PC but rather with my network. Thanks to everyone for helping me out!

I was also hoping you would try curl "https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-cisco-openh264-41&arch=x86_64". Please run that and post what it outputs.

Alright, the output is
