Description of problem:
I can successfully download the rpm
ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/pub/fedora/linux/extras/4/i386/sqlite2-2.8.16-1.fc4.i386.
rpm

I think the problem is with yum, as I can download this rpm with other ftp 
clients..

Additional info:

notice, gambas is in extras, I downloaded the sqlite rpm and was able to install 
it with rpm -i <sqlitepackage.rpm>
Comment 1 Seth Vidal 2005-11-15 04:26:49 UTC 
The ftp server in question or your proxy doesn't allow ftp-based byte-ranges.
Hence the policy restriction on REST

So you'd be able to download the whole package but not a specific part,
something that yum must be able to do.

Talk to the mirror admin about allowing restarted downloads (REST) or use a
different mirror
Comment 2 James Burke 2005-11-15 20:06:04 UTC 
I wish I can have a say to all mirrors of fedora extras site managers, but this 
is not my job. There should be a stricter policy set upstage from whom ever is 
making mirroring rules for fedora extras -- otherwise they shouldn't be in the 
list. If i'm getting more than 1 502 error and from a different server listed 
from the fedora project mirror list-- then this sort of thing should be forward 
to all ftp or htpp site maintainers. I'm not sure who I can forward to, so I'm 
hoping someone can feedback as to whom can enforce this policy.
