Some of us have had the same problem with Yum freezing up - we've covered that in another thread on this list. Taking your suggestion last night, I ran Yum to get a list of the recent updates and when (as usual) it froze while downloading a large file (Open Office updates are always a killer), I did a CTRL-C and then I used my gFTP client to download the rest of the files. I moved them into /var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages restarted Yum and it completed the update all by itself using the cached files. Thanks for the idea !
