I am sorry I picked up this discussion late so I am not sure if
someone has said it yet, but what about resuming downloads?
I work with a dial up connection and sometimes a long download
stops and I have to reinitiate it. Yum can find the
incomplete download but instead of reinitiating it, yum
erases it and restarts anew (ouch!)
