Thanks, Johnny, and not only for your on target response. You and the
other folks at CentOS do a bang up job.
I'm in Denver, CO, USA.
Part of my problem, I suspect is that I haven't updated the repos
specs since I brought the laptop up to 4.1 level. Until the update
completed, I was probably also using a downlevel yum now that I think
of it.
>From what I saw, I agree with your assessment. After I repeated enough
times, I must have connected with a different mirror, but then hit the
same or another mirror again later in the process.
I haven't really seen this problem on my desktop machine (same home
site) other than when the download storm for 4.2 was in progress.
Prior to this, the only trouble I had was with occasional hits on the
Dag sites which certainly is no responsibility of yours.
