fedora/linux/core is dead.  Nothing new has appeared there since FC6.  
I have stopped regular mirroring of fedora/linux/core/ and 
fedora/linux/extras/ completely, although I have the old content there 
still.

All the new stuff is here:

fedora/linux/development/
fedora/linux/releases/
fedora/linux/updates/

If you use rsync, just use the fedora-enchilada module and you'll get 
everything (including the old core/ and extras/).  I use that and 
exclude the stuff that doesn't have any churn anymore:

rsync -av -H --stats --delete --delete-after --delay-updates \
	--numeric-ids \
	--filter=._rsync-filter-fedora-enchilada-linux.lst \
	rsync://download2.fedora.redhat.com/fedora-enchilada/linux/ \
	/srv/ftp/pub/fedora/linux/

Contents of rsync-filter-fedora-enchilada-linux.lst:

- /core
- /extras
- .message
- /releases/7
- /releases/8
