Hello,

I am trying to access EPEL but download.fedoraproject.org only gives
me a blank screen or from yum I get

error was No repomd file Error:

Can you do:

URLGRABBER_DEBUG=1 yum install whatever-youweretryingtoinstall

and paste the last 500 lines or so?

That will usually show the issue.
Often its:

* Your machine time is vastly off so the ssl cert is not showing as
   valid yet.

* You are behind a proxy so you need to configure that.

* Your dns resolution isn't working.

Also, there's a epel-devel list or the fedora users list for end user
queries like this. ;)

None of the above:
 if I  --disablerepo=epel yum work fine.

http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/repoview/epel-release.html

which is pointed to by http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL gives me a blank 
screen.
