yum and ftp sites

[Shahms King]

Whatever happened to having yum cache and reuse FTP connections?  I know
there was a patch circulating to do this that worked well (but required
working around the broken urllib.ftpwrapper used by
urllib2.CacheFTPHandler).  

It's really, really annoying to be 2/3 done with an upgrade and have yum
abort because of a "Too Many Users" error on an FTP server.
