Description Bruno A. Crespo 2006-10-30 10:35:34 UTC
Description of problem:

The new dynamic mirror list seems to assign to you a mirror based on 
geographic information.  It always assign to you the same mirror and only a 
mirror, if this mirror has problems it's impossible to use yum.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

For me, always.  The script http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist always 
assign to me ftp.cica.es, that have some problem with their configuration, 
every time I make yum install eclipse-jdt, I get:

ftp://ftp.cica.es/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/eclipse-rcp-3.2.1-4.f                                                                             
c6.i386.rpm: [Errno 4] IOError: [Errno ftp error] 421 Too many connections (1)

Trying other mirror.
Error: failure: Fedora/RPMS/eclipse-rcp-3.2.1-4.fc6.i386.rpm from core: [Errno                                                                              
256] No more mirrors to try.

But this can be a serious problem.

The script must return, at least, 2 mirrors, to make the system works in the 
case of server problems.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install from Spain
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

No more mirrors to try

Expected results:

A Second mirror, at least.

We've done lots of work on this, does this still pose a problem?
