No. I tried an experiment here where I added a linux "3.0" headers
recipe and tried fetching it. It rapidly failed and came back to the
console.

What do you have PREMIRORS and MIRRORS set to? Does bitbake -DDD help
show what bitbake is doing? What about the fetch log files for the
recipe in question?

Cheers,
