The rpmball is fetchable. Something (configuration, network, etc.) is
preventing you from fetching it. That worth investigating.

You fetched the wrong/corrupted file. Remove it.

Try to fetch manually then copy to the needed directory:
$ fetch http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/4/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/setserial-2.17-19.i386.rpm
setserial-2.17-19.i386.rpm                    100% of   20 kB   36 kBps
$  md5 setserial-2.17-19.i386.rpm 
MD5 (setserial-2.17-19.i386.rpm) = 18f731b38dd607085f992c1e8bb67596
