	My question is, if yum thinks that my download size is 2.3M, why did I 
only do 731kB download?

	While I did this install about three times, I noticed that it started 
downloading files on different sizes, I throught that maybe yum should 
only download an rpm that is the size of the stated rpm, but this 
confused me, when a download of only 731kB file ...

	Could somebody fill me in on what I am missing ...

Thanks
