both formats to work on the Legacy mirrors.

Thanks for doing so.

Something for users new to 2.1 to watch out for: The --download-only switch went away. If you add that to your nightly cron job (in /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron), it will either break the script or install the updates (I forget which). I believe another utility is available that does the equivalent.
