Believe me, the fact that you are seeing this: > nmap-3.81-3.x86_64.rpm 100% |=========================| 544 kB 00:16 tells all of us quite clearly that there is something between yum and ayo.freshrpms.net that does not support HTTP/1.1, since it ends up downloading the whole RPM, and not just the requested header, which is the tell-tale behavior of the dumber kind of proxies that don't grok HTTP ranges. There is no solution here, other than: 1. Use ftp 2. Get a better proxy 3. Use a local mirror 4. Don't use yum Regards, --icon
