They are in fact, the slowest. Here are some real numbers:base 856 kb 27:38 updates 91 kb 1:20 kernel-devel died after 52:01At this point several mirrors were tried finally a fast one was found and things went quickly and smoothly.Almost one hour and only 1.7 of 4.8 m was downloaded This is typical for me getting data from .tw sites.
Then ... find the fastest mirrors and don't use the default. We can't possibly try to program in thnigs like this on our end.The fastestmirror script actually makes a connection to the mirrors in question, the lower ones should be the best ones. It is possible that is not the cause, but we can't test for that.
You can, however, remark out the "mirrorlist=" line and instead add several baseurl=<server_path> lines yourself that you want to use.
Then you get updates from where ever you want
