In the reverse order:
2) Resuming downloads is a definite goal. It's in the works.
1) Pausing downloads (deliberately) needs to things
a) the ability to resume downloads, and
b) an interface for interrupting them
Since (a) == (2), that's no problem. However, I can seen (b) being
hellish? Other than ctrl-c, what would be a good way to do that? I
dunno. Honestly, I suspect that you'll have to some day live with
ctrl-c to just plain stop yum, and then have it intelligently pick up
where it left off before.
