yum-2.3.2-7 for FC4. I think I figued out what's happening: yum indeed
continues downloads, but its progress bar doesn't reflect this (i.e.
even though it is only downloading say 33% of the whole file, progress
bar doesn't start at 66%, and this led me to think it was not
regetting. IMHO this is misleading, I'd rather see progress bar
reflect file percentage, and not download percentage...

Anyway, yum rocks (now that I know it is able to reget it rocks even
more =))

Thks, and sorry for the noise,

Andre
