The web download and the disc versions look exactly the same to me.
 $ md5sum /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS/yum-2.0.4-2.noarch.rpm /tmp/yum*
 dd4249018c1674b73e9ddab08828303f  /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS/yum-2.0.4-2.noarch.rpm
 dd4249018c1674b73e9ddab08828303f  /tmp/yum-2.0.4-2.noarch.rpm
 $ sum /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS/yum-2.0.4-2.noarch.rpm /tmp/yum*
 29472   127 /mnt/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS/yum-2.0.4-2.noarch.rpm
 29472   127 /tmp/yum-2.0.4-2.noarch.rpm

Did you save the bad file.  If so how does it compare with
the above and with the version on your disc.  By chance does
the file contain something like an HTML message that says try 
later?  Look at the bad file with 'file' and with 'less'.

I did notice that mozilla on RH-9.0 had trouble rendering the page
for me which is why I am posting this.
