Since I'm still testing yum, I've been running it interactively. When this happens to me, I'm able to ^C, and the download restarts presumably from another mirror. I haven't checked this via netstat, but I think that is what is happening. Anyway, I don't know if this is a feature or not, YMMV. Could a developer comment on this behavior? Is it normal? Also, as a "feature request", is it possible in python to do something similar to a "trap"? When I hit ^C, I often get a dump of what line in the code I was at, etc. Not a happy thing for most people to see, I'd imagine. Dumping that in the log might be useful... I'm running yum 2.0.4. -Jim -- Jim McConnell <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
