You can always just disable the yum-fastestmirror plugin if its not
working well for you. In /etc/yum/pluginconf.d there should be a file
called fastestmirror.conf - look in there, and change enabled=1 to
enabled=0. Might be worth running it with verbose=1 for a little while
to work out whats going on. Perhaps also reduce the maxhostfileage value
to have fastestmirror speed check each mirror more often.
There is also always the option of only using mirrors you know work
well. To do that, comment out the mirrorlist= lines from
/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo and replace them with baseurl=<url to
mirror>. You can have multiple mirrors listed there. man yum.conf for
more info on that.
