Please do not kill it as advised in the other response to the thread.
You could corrupt your package database.

You can simply hit Ctrl+c; yum/python is smart enough to under stand the
user is trying to cancel.  If it is downloading somehting, it will say
to hit Ctrl+c again within 20s to confirm (or something along those
lines), after the second Ctrl+c yum quits gracefully.
