Yum error when installing vsftpd

Hiya,

I just installed RHEL 5.2 and tried to install vsftpd

I receive the following error :

yum install vsftpd -y
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "security" plugin
rhel-i386-server-5        100% |=========================| 1.4 kB    00:00    
primary.xml.gz            100% |=========================| 1.5 MB    00:02    
rhel-i386-: ################################################## 4182/4182

filelists.xml.gz          100% |=========================| 9.0 MB    00:13    
Error: failed to retrieve repodata/filelists.xml.gz from rhel-i386-server-5
error was [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum

All google results suggesting using
 
yum clean all (done that)
yum clean metadata (done that)
and
yum -y remove yum-fastestmirror (doesn't exist)

But still no go .. we tried from source as well, but it fails with all sorts of errors and on a supported RH system I want to avoid using source packages anyway otherwise yum update won't catch upgrades for it ..
