Trying to yum upgrade 19 is stuck on a mirror with no useful throughput. What
kind of workaround for this is available? Nothing jumps at me in the yum man
page. How do I specify to use a particular mirror know to work?
If the speed is below some threshold, yum should blacklist the mirror and use a different one
I know this is an old thread.
Try setting the env var URLGRABBER_DEBUG=1, e.g. 'URLGRABBER_DEBUG=1 yum install foo', it gives a huge amount of extra debug output; the point is it shows the mirror yum picked to download a package.

next time. If you don't have the patience, try hitting Ctrl+C during the download. Ideally this should switch to a different mirror (but I'm not sure if this functionality wasn't removed).Not happening.

Of course, you can also edit /etc/yum/*.repo and hardcode some fast mirror near you:

But that doesn't guard you against outdated mirrors, and doesn't provide fallback if your chosen mirror is down.--
