Description of problem: When doing a netinstall, the mirror that anaconda selected is unknown. It is important to know what mirror was selected because some mirrors are known to be very slow. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda 24.13-1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot netinst 2.wait for anaconda to select mirror 3.check the source "tab" Actual results: the chosen mirror is not listed Expected results: the chosen mirror is displayed Additional info:
Anaconda doesn't actually handle the mirror selection. It is handled by DNF and isn't available to display or edit in the source spoke.
Then please consider it a request for enhancement.
We would need some way of getting that information from dnf first.
AFAIK, there is no such thing like strictly selected mirror for downloading. Librepo, the library used by DNF for downloading, skips slow mirrors on the basis of config options minrate and timeout. Therefore you should rather tweak those options to better suits your needs or consider fastestmirror=True. Please let us know whether this solution is acceptable for you.
It's ok if librepo skips some mirrors but i'd like to add my own excluded mirrors, like in the yum times. Of course this needs to be done before the mirror is actually selected. I don't know if tweaking those config options is enough because i have resons to believe some mirrors use kinda cache which makes them fastest in the first 50 MB or so. Also i don't know where these options can be tweaked :)

Please can you provide information how you did the selection in YUM. When we know your formal approach with yum, we can find a solution for dnf.
I have not selected a certain mirror to use,just excluded known bad mirrors as documented here: https://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/FastestMirror
