Something very cool for that situation you might not be aware of (I
tripped over it randomly some months ago).  Download the rpm as usual,
but instead of

rpm -i <rpm file>

do

yum localinstall <rpm file>

this will do the same as rpm -i, but yum will go out and download and
install any dependencies needed by the rpm you downloaded in the same
action (assuming they are in repos it knows about).
