yum, preupgrade, and related FedoraProject software often does its best
to hide such details from the user, and to make it inconvenient to choose
anything other than the default round-robin by geo-IP.  [jigdo is an exception.]

For instance, by default yumdownloader generates no record of which mirror
you get upon HTTP 302 [or 303] redirection from the master mirror.
In practice you see the ultimate URL only if the connection [attempt]
actually times out.  This enables the mirror administrator(s) to hide
from users in most cases of poor service (missing file, stale file,
slower than necessary, ...)
