No, yum is doing the download in-process.  It takes two Ctrl-C's to 
quit during download so one can switch mirrors with one Ctrl-C.  Yum is 
getting both of them and counting and timing them to decide what to do.

The approach I took in my stablemirror yum plugin is to show a short 
menu of commands and let the user choose one, rather than count and 
time them.  Either way works, but my way offers more choices.
