try changing dns servers.   google yum command to change servers you download 
from.

After several hours of downloading, the connection was dropped (24hr captive 
portal), and now I have to start all over again.

keepcache doesn't seem to have any effect in dnf.conf or yum.conf.


Perhaps it's a server issue, but it will not resume the transfer.

Hm. I wasn't notified of these responses. I appreciate everyone's input.


I ended up editing yum.conf, under [main], and adding minrate=1, and 
timeout=2000.

(I also edited keepcache to 1)

Now yum/dnf doesn't timeout after periods of slow transfer speeds.


Seems to be working, as I am now halfway done with the download with only 2 
more hours to go.


A apologize, this seems to be a yum issue and not a qubes issue. I just wasn't 
sure what was going on behind the scenes and was under the impression that yum 
had no problems with resuming downloads. I thought maybe qubes-dom0-update was 
breaking that.

There is no reason why you should not download using wget or a standard
browser.
Dont forget to validate the package - rpm -K

Once you are satisfied you can copy the file in to dom0 -
www.qubes-os.org/doc/copy-from-dom0

Then install the package using dnf install.

I would strongly recommend cloning a template and working in the cloned
version if you want to make major changes like this.
