I don't understand why I keep getting time out socket errors in yum. On
one pass, it started several times to download one package. It kept
timing out. (Each time it times out, it moves to the next mirror and
starts anew.) I launched gFTP and used that to download the package
(7.1M) from one of the mirrors that timed out in yum. It stalled
several times but never "timed out". It kept going and got the whole thing.
Why is yum so tempermental? It does this each and every time on
"primary.xml.gz". Almost every time I invoke yum, it goes through all
the mirrors and still doesn't get "primary.xml.gz".
