Re: [CentOS] forcing yum to download but not install

I would highly advise against trying to time a CTRL-C in a specific amount of time. Not sure why you would even try and do that when, that's the exact purpose of the yum-download only which is easier to install and run then wait for a whole update to complete and try and manually kill the job. Sorry but that idea is just bad.

While in Run Transaction test, it does not write anything, so it is rather safe. I have done it a number of times over the years, just when Transaction tests are beginning, and never had any issues. But OK, I understand what you are saying.
