That's correct. The metadata_expire is the number of seconds it'll remember the filelists for (what's available, updated, etc.). If you were issuing yum commands one after another, and taking a while between each issue, and it had already downloaded the list successfully, this is the amount of time that it'll avoid getting the list again. You could increase it, but it'd only have an effect if you've managed to get the list. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.)
