If it works for you, when running it manually at the same computer (with
the same network), it shouldn't at least be any firewall issues. Does it
help to re-run the fetch task? (Thinking of temporary network issues
together with something stalling).

Just a couple of questions.

Does the log.do_fetch reveal anything?
If you enable the debug flags for bitbake, do you get anything that
makes sense when re-running the fetch task?

Cheers,
Anders
