Yes, I saw that a lot.  I tried using a local mirror, didn't help me.  I
tried adding a "timeout=16" line to my /etc/yum.conf file, and that got
it working for me.

This seems to be a FC4 problem, as my FC3 machines work fine with YUM,
and the same file servers.  FC4 seems to just fail all over the place
while trying to do updates.
