I do not recommend using the fastestmirror plugin. I recommended using a fast mirror. This is a generality, YMMV: My experience is that the faster mirrors; that is, those with high bandwidth, tend to have more resources available and, thus, sync to the Fedora servers on a dependable schedule. Find a fast mirror that does not lag too far from the main Fedora servers and you can be assured that eventually your system will able to get released updates. One distro, was it SUSE?, had the sync schedule of their mirrors. It would be really nice if Fedora mirrors provided that data, too. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
