Yum- Coneection Reset by peer.

[Mark Lobsitz]

I had the same problem and I found that if i edited the file 
/etc/yum.conf and replaced http:// with ftp:// in both instances in the 
conf file I had no further issues. It now looks like this:

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
 

[base]
name=Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 base
baseurl=ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yum/3.0/RPMS.main/
 

 

[updates]
name=Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 updates
baseurl=ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yum/3.0/RPMS.updates/


I hope that helps.
