OK I can acknowledge there is a problem for yum-3.0 users. I reproduced 
it using CentOS 5 host.

The thing is, we have upgraded download.openvz.org to use CentOS 6, and 
by default its
createrepo uses sha256 for checksumming, which yum-3.0 does not understand.

The fix is to use -s sha argument to createrepo. I have just updated 
download.openvz.org.
Mirrors should follow within hours.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Kir.
