I have also noticed what appear to be reliability problems with the

get timed out or dropped or something happens to corrupt the RPM

instead, it will retry the transfer and eventually succeed.
Maybe it's possible that you managed to force some package to install
that was truncated?
I haven't had any such problems using up2date with the public yum repos
at
fedora.redhat.com. I also grab a nightly rsync from Duke U. for use
inside a private network at work, and that also seems to work just fine
for the handful of Fedora machines that rely thereon. I try not to mix
updates-released and updates-testing usage on the same machine; I don't
know if that's relevant to the OP.
