Do the mirrors sync in a way that lets the filename become visible
before the sync is actually complete?

I've had mixed results, even from boxes on the same network, behind the
same proxy. Perhaps coincidentally all x86_64 versions 'just worked'
with only the 'yum update glibc\*' done first. The 32-bit versions
mostly had some missing packages that I had to exclude to get the first
update to run, then after a 'yum clean all' and a few retries they would
find the rest. Apparently the clean is necessary to make a box change
its mind about a previously determined fastest-mirror - but I thought it
was supposed to still check others for missing packages.
