In this case I'm running yum on the local machine. It only seems to
lock up when downloading sizable rpms.

We have set up local yum mirrors for Fedora, and updates are fast
as heck, except that Yum seems to hang intermittantly. Sometimes
it stops right in the middle of copying over an rpm; then it just
sits on the process bar and never seems to recover. We don't seem
to see this problem when using mirrors from the Internet, although
these are much slower, of course.
Could this be a problem with trying to push too much data through
the local apache server? It doesn't show any errors.
Are you running yum in a terminal window over ssh? I'm seeing a
similar issue when running yum on my home machine from work using ssh,
though it usually hangs when processing the metadata rather than with
the RPMs themselves.
