Description William Lovaton 2008-06-23 01:45:48 UTC 
Description of problem:
Specially with Fedora 9, every time I try to update or install something, yum
always select a slow mirror the first time.  I can workaround this issue hitting
Ctrl + C.  It then tries again in another mirror and download the files at full
speed.

Is anybody else seeing this problem?

I guess I could configure yum so that it uses a fast mirror in the first try, I
just don't know how to do it.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-3.2.16-2.fc9.noarch

You can try installing the fastestmirror plugin.

yum install yum-fastestmirror

it should do what you want.

Thanks Tim, I knew it wasn't a bug as such.

I'll try it at home tonight and see how it works.
