In fc6 it seems Ctrl+C is trapped, so it seems better in this way.
In graphical package updater instead, you have no way to say to it for
example "hey, I got a slooooow mirror; can you change it, please? Also
randomly, I don't want to choose a specific one..."

There's a 'fastestmirror' plugin (available on yum homepage) which determines mirrors speeds automatically.

If you are going this route, yum install yum-utils (Fedora Extras).

Rahul

the yum-utils package dont contain the plugins anymore, the plugins is split in separate packages:

yum-allowdowngrade.noarch 1.0.1-1.fc6 extras yum-changelog.noarch 1.0.1-1.fc6 extras yum-downloadonly.noarch 1.0.1-1.fc6 extras yum-fastestmirror.noarch 1.0.1-1.fc6 extras yum-fedorakmod.noarch 1.0.1-1.fc6 extras yum-kernel-module.noarch 1.0.1-1.fc6 extras yum-priorities.noarch 1.0.1-1.fc6 extras yum-protectbase.noarch 1.0.1-1.fc6 extras yum-skip-broken.noarch 1.0.1-1.fc6 extras yum-tsflags.noarch 1.0.1-1.fc6 extras yum-versionlock.noarch 1.0.1-1.fc6 extras
Just use : (as root)
yum install yum-fastestmirror
To install the fastestmirror plugin.
