Hi Linux Advocate,
I have found this a problem for the Australian servers I manage as well. I suggest you manually test the speed of some local mirrors then manually specify a mirror rather than relying on the fastest mirror plugin.
If your ISP mirrors content locally then that'd be the logical mirror to use.
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
