Some of us can't wait that long, between a) taking off for the weekend
(US) early, and b) people who are out, who require their systems this
afternoon. I used --skip-broken.

HOWEVER, I got this:
(168/213): net-snmp-libs-5.3.2.2-9.el5_5.1.i386.rpm      | 1.3 MB     00:00
http://mirror.rackspace.com/CentOS/5.5/updates/i386/RPMS/net-snmp-libs-5.3.2.2-9.el5_5.1.i386.rpm:
[Errno -1] Package does not match intended download
Trying other mirror.

...and it tried about 8 mirrors before it found one that worked. I didn't
think there were updates in the last couple days - what's going on here?
