You can edit the URL of the repo that's used. We default to following what the mirror list gives back because for most people, that increases the usability of the network install _significantly_ Also, note that if your ISP has a local mirror, they should really register their mirror[1] and say the netblocks they serve. Their users will then end up getting their mirror by default and everyone can win. The same can be true for people who have a static IP and a local, private mirror -- put your IP into mirror manager and your local IP can be given back.
