Good idea. We can look at adding this into the release process...

It uses mirrormanager (as downthread indicates). This uses geoip or
specific mirror requests (ie, mirrors can say they service all of a
specific IP range or ASN). It might be that you are in a geoip region
that doesn't have many fast mirrors in the list? If you go to the
mirrormanager link from the same IP you were installing from it should
give you a list you can look at.
