Any idea why yum doesn't show by default from what mirror it is downloading from? It's not like there's no space on the output strings layout...
Instead of
----------
Transaction Summary
================================================================================
Install 1 Package (+3 Dependent packages)
Upgrade ( 7 Dependent packages)
Total download size: 50 M
Is this ok [y/d/N]: y
Downloading packages:

Delta RPMs reduced 1.4 M of updates to 416 k (71% saved)

I'd suggest:

In case of a timeout (which down here, happens often) it'd show, instead of...
-----
wget-1.14-8.fc19.i686.rpm FAILED
http://fedora.gtdinternet.com/updates/19/i386/wget-1.14-8.fc19.i686.rpm: [Errno 14] curl#6 - TIMEOUT
Trying other mirror.

It should be noted that under the current behaviour:
1. The current mirror is not displayed
2. When there are recurrent problems (ie slow downloads) with a current YUM whatever download, one cannot identify the name of the problem mirror, because (point #1)
3. even with -v (for "verbose" operation) yum details all kinds of internal values, timings etc but NOT THE MIRROR it is downloading from.
It seems like a nice RFE with no downsides I can think of, and trivial to implement.
Thoughts? Comments? Expletives? ;-).
