yum locking up

[Salvatore Enrico Indiogine]

Greetings!

I am eager to migrate from RHL 9 to Fedora on my PC, but 1 problem is
holding me back: yum

Doing:

yum check-update or yum update

the download of the rpm starts and then locks up.  I can do ^C and it
will continue or restart, but then it will lock up again.  The download
stops.  The download usually works well with small rpms, but installing
the kernel, glibc or mozilla is practically impossible.  It simply stops
downloading and hangs.

I am on DSL and it works well.  I have > 1 Gbyte space available.  I run
the process as root.  

I really would like to solve this problem so that I can complete the
migration.

Thanks in advance,

Enrico
