I'm afraid there isn't. The closest thing you can do is identify the URL of 
the rpm you need to grab, find a mirror that offers rsync, and use rsync 
--partial to download your update, as often as it takes until you get it 
all.

I do agree -- yum/rpm should be fixed so that it can use rsync in addition 
to http.
