    Correct.

    See earlier in this thread in the mail from dams; you'll find

    mirrorlist=http://rpm.livna.org/mirrorlist

    there. But as you might notice, this currently does not work, too,
    because rpm.livna.org is (still) down.

    I prefer to hard-code my mirrors with a fall-back (like livna.repo
    sample I send out earlier). I know which mirror is reliable and near to
    me -- and if it's down it skips to the next.

    There is also a yum plugin that automatically finds a fast mirror -- but
    the plugin can't know if that mirror is fully up2date.
