I've had a setup that fetches "released" updates for the core tree separately from the development tree, for some time (that is, one sync that runs for /pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/ and a separate tree that runs for /pub/fedora/linux/core/development/ at different times). It helps to a degree, but I agree with the many posts on this thread that something maybe "up" with redhat/fedora's "priority access" setup. It's difficult to get good speeds at the best of times, and at release times (such as next monday/tuesday when -test2 is released) it's nigh-on _impossible_ to get anything decent from the master server/s. I usually end up talking with other well-connected mirrors to get IP-based access to their mirrors so I can have the release before it's announced. > With numerous well connected mirrors as well as lots of bandwith to the > master site there should be no problem creating a rock solid fast > mirroring system with a little work. Sure - and for what it's worth, the RedHat / Fedora mirroring system is among the most solid that I'm involved with.
