Can yum be configured to download files using wget?

Is it possible to configure yum so that it will download packages from repos using wget? Sometimes in some repos yum will give up and terminate for "no more mirrors to retry". But when use "wget -c" to download that file, it will be successful.

Any help please?

no, you can't. There will be some form of logical difference in what is being done by the two programs though, for example, is one set to use a proxy?
