	Is it me?? 

	For the last couple of days, on three Fedora 8 machines, "yum 
update" invariably gets as far as asking "Is this OK?"; then I tell it 
yes, and it starts downloading, mostly if not always with kdepim first.

	That reaches 100%, and the errors start, usually beginning with 
"Package does not match intended download," followed by a long list of 
mirrors with errors number one way or another (lots of 1 and 9), and 
ending with several saying "[Errno 9] Requested Range Not Satisfiable," 
and finally one carrying error number 256 : "No more mirrors to try."
