First, it's not a problem with all http proxies, just the ones that
suck. Second, it has been addressed. The method of diagnosing and
fixing it is even in the FAQ.
http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq#Q5
Basically,
1. Get your proxy software/firmware updated so that it properly
implements HTTP 1.1
2. Use an FTP repository, where byte ranges are more commonly
supported by the proxy
3. Create a local mirror with rsync and then point your yum.conf to
that local mirror
4. Don't use yum

Greg
