No, I noticed it too last night when I was updating a new production 
server.  I kept having to CRTL-C it, and 1/2 of the time it would die 
and I would have to restart.

The weird thing is that it was happening to the core RPM sites, as well 
as (for me) Dag RPM Repository, which really threw me for a loop.

Was it something I said? ;-)
