Seems to me, that Yum is performing quite badly. I often get network disconnects and Yum keeps spinning after going into 0.0b transfer rates forever and requires a forced kill.
Ahhh.... If you are getting network disconnects then any application yum, firefox, etc. which connects to a remote server would certainly suffer. Some apps/protocols may recover better when the network is restored.
So, are you saying that in your case the network connection is dropping frequently and yum isn't recovering as you'd expect?
Or....
Anyone see this problem?
I am of course using NetworkManager, and wonder if I should use the old-network connectivity style?
Are you saying you're having frequent network disconnects, but you don't know why, and you are trying to solve that problem?
