SRPMS for CentOS4

I use up2date in preference to yum simply because it
automates the 
process of getting matching source.

However, it seems to fairly reliably get the source on the
next attempt, 
having reliably failed the first:

What's going on here?

yumdownloader from yum-utils can help you do that.

Thanks Charlie, I'll need to do that for 5. Note that I use
up2date to 
get the source for the packages I'm updating, not just
arbitrary 
packages as in that example.


The immediate problem, though, is this:

An HTTP error occurred:
URL: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/i386/
/SRPMS/grub-0.95-3.8.src.rpm
Status Code: 404
Error Message: Not Found

and I expect that yumdownloader would suffer the same
problem.

Since I can (usually if not always) get the src.rpm on the
next attempt, 
I'm wondering whether there's a problem with the mirror
infrastructure.
