my repos are configured to use mirrorlist. how do i add mirrors manually?
If you take a look in /etc/yum.repos.d/ you will see a number of files. There should be example baseurl lines in the repo files which will be commented out by default. Here's an example of how I use this to manually use my local ISPs mirror for the base repo:
[base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&rep... baseurl=ftp://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=ftp://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5

oliver what kind of speeds do u get? what line do u have? i have a 1.0 mbps adsl
I get 10Mbits from my own ISP's mirror, and I'd probably get the same from any other official Australian mirror sites. I have ADSL2+. If I tried any mirror sites outside of Australia it would probably be noticeably slower. If you're in SE Asia I'd imagine any mirror site in Singapore or Korea or Japan should be quite fast. Those countries seem to be the main "hubs" for traffic in that region.
