Yum

[Christopher R. White]

I too have been unable to use either apt-get or yum to update YDL 3.0  I 
followed the directions listed in this email, and continue to get 
download errors.  Some errors are connection reset by peer, some are 
header (near as I can tell anywayz) errors, some, I just can't tell at 
all why it fails.  I have tried several mirrors, with the same results 
each time.  If anybody has gotten yum working properly, perhaps post 
their yum.conf file.  Also, I tried to download the yum rpm from 
freshrpms.net, but was unable to get it to install properly.  I'm at the 
end of my rope and unable to fix it myself I'm afraid!  HELP PLEASE!
