Another problem I have discovered is that hitting ^C doesn't always cancel the operation. Sometimes it just drops the connection on that server and causes it to try the next server. Then this happens, it appears to be impossible to actually kill the yum session with anything short of closing the terminal window that is running the yum instance. Regards, Msquared...
