A common scenario for newbies, which make you bow your head in shame: You had thought they would prefer the graphical package tools, you have not recommended the command-line, but they know Google and have found lots of documentation about how to install something with Yum.

Newbie is caught in a loop of download failures, mirror-switching, ^C attempts, low through-put, and reacts very surprised and disappointed about "this Linux stuff".
