Okay, I added your mirror, it should show up in the mirror listing shortly.
Just wondering how the 5mbit limit will work - most people have that kind of speed into adsl these days.
It's not going to be used for mirrorlists and shows up under the "slower" links on the web page, fwiw.
FWIW, Fedora requests that new mirrors have at least 100Mbps available, especially if in a developed and already well-served country. We'll accept lower in lesser-served countries. MirrorManager uses a weighted random draw to select mirrors, so mirrors advertising 5Mbps will get selected 1/20 as often as mirrors advertising 100Mbps, or 1/200 as often as mirrors advertising 1Gbps.
This helps us not overload the lower-capacity mirrors while being able to take some advantage of them. However, it's often about these slower mirrors that I receive end user complaints due to the slow speed.
