I've been using yum quite a lot lately but as I have a really crappy router that tends to fail basically when ever it's doing any real work (like installing packages of the web), it annoys me endlessly that yum doesn't allow resuming of downloads - say if I get 10-20 megs of a file and the router cuts out, I'm back to square one. Now I have 100MBit internet so it's not that bad, but I would imagine a user on 56k would be slightly less than pleased over this behavior. So could resuming please be considered for implementation in a future release of yum?

Have you attempted to upgrade your firmware from the netgear site? I own about 20 different netgear routers and though ocassionally do have an issue it is normally addresed in a firmware update at some point. Also i find people often blame the technology that thay know the least about and this sad award almost always falls at the feet of the little mysterious router box. Are you sure IT is the problem (have you temp replaced it with another one?) You dont have to answer back, my response is just a suggestion. -- Michael Favia
I'll just take this off list:
I have had the router replaced once already, the problem presists - when I connect straight to the network around the router, it's perfectly stable. There is no fireware updates for this model on the website I looked. I'm quite sure it's just a bad design.

Dangerously treading into off-topic waters here, but this rings a bit similar to a problem my brother had a few months back. His Linksys router would spontaneously reboot when he would hit certain web pages and the like. He replaced it, no luck. I put in a Linux router using an old spare box he had, it went flaky, but in different ways. I told him to get with his provider and sure enough, his cable modem was on the fritz. Once it was replaced, life was good.
