guys, i have the yum plugin -> fastest mirror . But not even once i have seen it selecting repos which are near my region such as japan or australia ( where i get the best speeds). Something is wrong.
It seems stuck with these 3 sites ;
Determining fastest mirrors
- ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de : 0.309373 secs
- apt.sw.be : 0.483867 secs
- fr2.rpmfind.net : 0.503842 secs
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.
Good luck, Oliver
