I'm sorry, but I can't recall exactly what the error was... I remember yum 
complaining about metadata not matching checksums, and that there was a similar 
issue with other proxy services (maybe from mirrorservice.co.uk?)

If there is, then it isn't an "easy" or well documented one, since I wasn't 
able to do find it

I may have chosen the wrong words; I meant that there is nothing that does for 
yum and .rpm what apt-cacher does for apt and .deb, so the "real solution" meaning.
And I wish I would able to write such a program, but my programming skills are 
really really poor.

Hey, it may sound strange to you guys out there, but here in Italy there are 
still people that don't learn English at school... so please, be indulgent on me ;)
