yum times out frequently - socket timeout value too low?

I am using a 28800bps modem connection to the internet, and I frequently
get this error when fetching the filelists and so on, especially on large
filelists.xml.gz files:
http://ftp.udl.es/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/i386/repodata/primary.xml.gz: [Errno 4] Socket Error: timed out
Trying other mirror.
It will try a whole lot of mirrors, each generating the same error
message, before I will give up and fetch the .xml.gz files manually via
wget. After I do this, the rest of the updates work fine.
Is there somewhere I can tweak the network timeout parameters for yum?
Regards, Msquared...
