AFAIK there are two solutions: * install the yum-downloadonly plugin (I think centos.karan.org has it) * (quick'n dirty fix) hit ctrl-c when it has started downloading, this will make it 1) try another mirror, and 2) stop after downloading ..obviously I'll just sit back and drink my coffe if yum eats your children or makes your root-fs emulate /dev/random ;-), but both ways have worked for me in the past. /Peter
