I was able to baby step towards a full install through persistence.  It 
seemed to start working (slightly) better in the evening (after peak net 
usage?), or maybe it just worked better once I got past the metadata part of 
the install.  I discovered that I would get a little further each time, and 
yum keeps everything you've downloaded so far.  So I was able to just keep 
running the command over and over until it finally succeeded.  I even 
considered writing a script to do this, which seemed like a ridiculous way 
to handle it.  Once I got it down to a manageable number of failures in the 
apps download I worked on one package at a time until I finally downloaded 
everything.
