Use your Fedora account to login to MirrorManager and add a private mirror for yourself along with a site-local netblock in CIDR notation so the mirror master knows to serve to you when yum clients come from your network. After a few hours, mirror lists will serve your mirror first, then random other mirrors in your country/region. Example, I have InstantMirror running on my Buffalo Linkstation (hard drive + ethernet running embedded Linux) at home. I gave that box a private IP address and pointed a sub-domain name at that (so I could use Apache name-based VirtualHost for InstantMirror). I then added to MirrorManager "Warren's Private Home Mirror" which only I can see when I login to the management interface. In both cases it is REALLY handy when all of your local clients automatically begin using your local mirror. Oh, there might be one more complication. You may need to checkout the sources for MirrorManager and run the script that reports to MirrorManager that your mirror is populated. I think mdomsch mentioned that the checkbox on the MirrorManager interface isn't yet working. Matt, what's the status of this? Hopefully that last wrinkle should be gone soon.
