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. -- Matt Domsch Technology Strategist Dell | Office of the CTO
