From past Yum versions, I have seen this to be the case, and I have not seen any such thing with F12's Yum version which lead me to question if mirror testing/switching code was dropped? I hope I am wrong in my assumptions. Is it possible that the network is somehow using maximum bandwidth preventing network access to other apps? The IMAP network break seemed to prevent IMAP client connectivity temporarily and once yum stopped, IMAP client connections quickly resumed. I have a pretty quiet network and it seems to me, that somehow running yum with FM causes problems. Removing FM seems to work but it is not maxing out the bandwidth. For example, with FM, it is hitting hard at around 300-320KB/s but without it, it is hitting around 200-290KB/s which is notably slower as you watch the downloads.
