    You took it as an insult to say use wget to download rpm files. OK. 
I really don't care what YOU do. I use wget because my DSL is so slow. 
Takes 24 hours to d/l the F7 DVD. I gather you must have got it somehow.

    From what you say above makes me think you do not understand how 
wget works. I have never had a need for help with yum uploads. So can't 
say how yum will work. These are the two things you need with F7.
