Is there any rationale for NOT making yum-fastestmirror the default??
Because it doesn't work? The heuristic it uses is far too simple-minded.
I've often had to hand-edit the mirror list to stop it trying to
download from nearby mirrors which have low latency but also very low
bandwidth.
That's not the only thing simple minded about yum.
One simple improvement would be to tell which mirror it's connecting to.
I've been trying to yum update f18 all day and it keeps choosing the
same damn mirror (no idea which) with a whopping 7.9k data rate. f27
will be out before this joke is done.
