In this particular case, that is because yum 2.0.x (the one in CentOS 3)
uses individual headers and a .info file ... and yum 2.2.x/2.3.x/2.4.x
(the one in CentOS 4 is now 2.4.x) uses .xml files and repomd data (all
the headers in one file).
The xml file generation produces a zero size .xml file on that mirror
(intermittently)... which only effects products using yum
2.2.x/2.3.x/2.4.x (so for CentOS, it only effects CentOS-4). It would
also effect FC 3 and 4 and RHEL 4 with yum.
