The new yum is available here for testing: http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/yum-2.4.2-2.centos4.noarch.rpm (yum is a noarch RPM and this version should work on all centos-4 arches) This will be released after it is tested and we know it works, so please reply to this posting if you have a proxy server and yum was not working for you before.
