Then ... find the fastest mirrors and don't use the default. We can't possibly try to program in thnigs like this on our end. The fastestmirror script actually makes a connection to the mirrors in question, the lower ones should be the best ones. It is possible that is not the cause, but we can't test for that. You can, however, remark out the "mirrorlist=" line and instead add several baseurl=<server_path> lines yourself that you want to use.
