Description of problem: Even with yum-fastestmirror plugin installed, the revisor package download process is very slow as it downloads packages from slow mirrors, in what appears to be a rather random selection of mirrors. Selecting mirrors randomly is a sub-optimal strategy as it is virtually guaranteed that with a world-wide selection of mirrors then most mirrors will be very slow for any given user. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.4.1-2.fc7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start revisor 2. click forward until it starts processing 3. wait for the download packages stage to start Actual results: Download is very slow Expected results: Downloading packages should be as fast as running yum on the same machine Additional info:
Revisor doesn't load yum plugins yet.
