Hacks: Replace yum's downloader with Axel
/!\ This is an ugly hack, use it at your own risk, I am not responsible for any breakage P/S, your sysadmin might not gonna like this Disclaimer aside, I really love Python. So, I'm behind such a bad network which keep timing out, and downloading stuff using yum in this network is a real PITA. And so, I had enough of it and decided to hack around.

I think, why not just replace this urllib2 grabber with axel, so, I did.
