It state: connection reset by peer. Which happens due network problems. We could not really fix that :) But pirut should catch this exception and provide nice window to user with Retry/Cancel option. Reassigning to pirut. Lowering severity.
BTW BZ 595837 is related where I recently catch this TB for yum and print nice error message. But this will not probably help pirut as it has to catch it on its own.
