[Yum] Yum proxy problems

[ht ht]

Hi,

I'm having problems using yum with fedora core 3. I have a fresh install, 
when i try and run "yum update"
The following message is generated:

---> Downloading header for boost to pack into transaction set.
boost-1.32.0-1.fc3.i386.r 100% |=========================| 586 kB    00:05
http://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/pub/fedora/updates/3/i386/boost-1.32.0-1.fc3.i386.rpm: 
[Errno -1] Header is not complete.

Similar messages are then generated for each mirror as yum goes through 
them.
I notice that yum claims to be downloading the header, but actually 
downloads the full rpm. Is this a problem?

The end result is that no packages get updated.


The same problem appeared here:
https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/yum/2004-December/005748.html

but i haven't found a solution.

Googling for:
yum "Headers is not complete"

shows that the problem is not widespread, but is affecting a few of us!

Please send replies to me as well as the list as i am not subscribed.

Thanks for any help,

ht
