A note about open FTP connections. Mozilla (and other browsers) have
been know to hold FTP connections open longer than you would think. If
you ever run into this kind of "too many conncetions" issue, one simple
thing is to close your browser first (and any other FTP client for that
matter) then try to use yum.

(Not saying this is the problem, just a comment about it.)
