If they are updates, do not use the -i option. Use: rpm -Uvh /var/cache/yum/updates/packages/*.rpm Your original mistake was most likely not editing /etc/yum.conf to point to an Australian mirror (the mirror.pacific.net.au one is good) prior to issuing a "yum update" command. Don't use the default settings in that file.
