YUM update hangs (not all the time)

[Florian Idelberger]

I experience more or less the same thing. after running yum update for 
the first time, and updating one package. (where it installed all right, 
but didn't quit to the shell)
it just prints out the first server, even if there's only one and 
doesn't move on from there (it doesn't even fbegin the first)
that's annoying, because I got to like yum in favor of apt.
