So I tried using wget to download RPMs from a few mirrors. I was able to successfully one whose size is about 5.5M, but the others all stop downloading around 1M. Then I tried ftp... same deal. This might be the reason for the "socket error" in yum.
When you say "stop downloading", what do you mean? Clean stop? Network error message? Filesystem? Maybe you could try to wget to /dev/null and see if it goes further? Or try to strace a wget to see what happens...
