I can assume that those are pretty fast, also. The problem is: There might be more mirrors in my vicinity - but how is CentOS supposed to know that they are there? Do those mirrors report back to CentOS or do they just mirror it from somewhere else? <http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=13> - those are the official ones. If you know of other mirrors close to you, then get *them* to report to CentOS. We can't just probe every available ftp server and look if they mirror centos content.
