I use up2date in preference to yum simply because it automates the process of getting matching source.
yumdownloader from yum-utils can help you do that.

Thanks Charlie, I'll need to do that for 5. Note that I use up2date to get the source for the packages I'm updating, not just arbitrary packages as in that example.
The immediate problem, though, is this:
An HTTP error occurred: URL: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386//SRPMS/grub-0.95-3.8.src.rpm Status Code: 404 Error Message: Not Found
and I expect that yumdownloader would suffer the same problem.
Since I can (usually if not always) get the src.rpm on the next attempt, I'm wondering whether there's a problem with the mirror infrastructure.
