Point yum to one of the mirrors from:
 <<http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/resources/ftp_mirrors.shtml#sites>>

To do so, you must edit, as root, </etc/yum.conf>. I'll provide an
example file (my 'old' file, actually) pointed to the Sherbrook
University mirror (in Quebec, Canada, as its the closest to me I could
find) later on, for your convenience. I suggest you to perform "yum
install yum" first as it will update yum to 2.0.5-1 who provide a
yum.conf pointed to ayo.freshrpms by default and that is a good thing!
yum will let you know that the 'new' yum.conf has been created as
<yum.conf.rpmnew>. You must replace the 'old' file <etc/yum.conf> by the
'new' one <etc/yum.conf.rpmnew>. Either erase the old then rename the
new as 'yum.conf' or select-all-copy-paste the 'new' file content into
the 'old' one and save changes... I know <yum -c [config file]> allow to
specify the config file to use but I actually never got it to
work...heh... OK, now you can use yum without 'connection reset by Peer
ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH' keyboard slamming!
