It should not download everything again ... it should replace everything

that was released between 2005-05-16 and 2005-05-19 and is a RHEA or a
RHBA.
That is a significant number of packages.
RedHat released these as update 5, we incorporated them into CentOS 3.5.
Any that were RHSA's were integrated ASAP on the day of release, as they
are security fixes ... the RHEA and RHBA come as a group afterwards
since they are enhancements and bugfixes.
Those should be the packages you see trying to be upgraded.
