Getting occasional failures which I would expect retries to handle

[matthias50]

I am occasionally getting failures like the following:

Execution of '/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install vim' returned 1: <urlopen error [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer>

I would expect that retries would handle this and I have a hard time believing that s3 itself would really do this 10 times in a row. I say 10 because we are using default value for retries.
