yes, it is really annoying.
this happened to me in fc3/4t1/4t2
afair yum tries all mirros before it stops.
you have to break every mirror with [ctlr][c] before you get the expeted 
result.


an other thing is/was "\*" and "*" as wildcard
i am not sure if it was "yum" and/or "rpm"
in some versions "*" is ok and suddenly after an update you have to use 
"\*" to get the expected resultat.
i do not know in which release/version this happened.
"\*" is/was always ok.
