Instead, yum will switch to a different mirror to download the packages from. This is handy if it happens to pick a slow mirror. Just hit Ctrl+C and it will try another one (assuming you have it set up to use multiple mirrors). This makes it a little harder to kill, though, during this stage. Jonathan
