For the record on this one, it seems that our version of the geoip database does not do a proper lookup for IP addresses in the 60.50.50.50 (as an example IP of that range).
What I get is unknown (with our current version). When unknown, it passes a list of high bandwidth machines.
I will get and build a newer version of the GeoIP database and see if I can get a better result.
johny, are u the maintainer for the geo-ip database?
I maintain the RPM that is used as part of CentOS Extras and that we use on the CentOS servers in question.
I did some major work on the app that CentOS uses for mirrorlists and isolists over the weekend. Especially in the AP region, as we have picked up some mirrors there recently.
Here is a thread that shows the relationship logic of the app:

If people who think the lists need to change will tell me the good and bad servers for their country, I can change the logic.
