I used --skip-broken. HOWEVER, I got this: (168/213): net-snmp-libs-5.3.2.2-9.el5_5.1.i386.rpm | 1.3 MB 00:00 http://mirror.rackspace.com/CentOS/5.5/updates/i386/RPMS/net-snmp-libs-5.3.2.2-9.el5_5.1.i386.rpm: [Errno -1] Package does not match intended download Trying other mirror. ...and it tried about 8 mirrors before it found one that worked.
