What on Earth does that have to do with anything? You've got poor connectivity or expensive connectivity or both in the "last mile" part of your link to the Internet. How is changing the mirroring system going to help you or others like you?
Faulty question. Changing the mirror system would help him. This is why he wants it done. The question more appropriately (in my mind at least) is "Should centos get into the business of tweaking the mirror so that it suits the special case last mile users?" The current mirror system is a vast improvement over the previous design. There's some parental pride which will be resistant to change over the current script, although if it's a worthwhile improvement, I'm sure reason will prevail. I believe that we provide a general service, and that to some extent, it's up to individual users to tweak to suit their unique needs. I don't think CentOS should get involved with "last mile" efforts, as most other distros do not, (or do so only by accident as with debian picking a mirror close to you). There's nothing stopping people from changing the repo file to suit their needs, and indeed from another thread on the centos-devel list it seems that many do this to point to custom/local/tested repositories of their own creation. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
