By default, yum chooses the mirror from the mirror list on a random bases. You can set 'failovermethod=priority' for the repositoriy to force yum to go down the mirror list one by one. Yet, the mirrorlist itself coud be randomized. > They tend to fail in bunches - either a lot of failures or very few. > It wasn't like this until a few weeks ago - shortly but not > immediately after F7 came out, I think. I'm having this problem, too, though it does only happen with one or two sites, not a dozen. I added a '&country=de' to the mirrorlist URL to at least get a mirror from my country. The checksum errors reduced in number since then, but did not vanish. Cheers, Andreas. -- http://www.lysium.de/blog
