The fact that yum-fastestmirror ignores bandwidth when selecting
mirrors is annoying for high bandwidth machines too -- I regularly
find that yum selects mirrors which have low latency but whose
bandwidth is very poor, which requires a manual update to the exclude
list.
Tony Nelson:
Type Ctrl-C during a slow download, and then (as it warns) don't type
it again for at least two seconds. You'll get the next mirror from the
list. It's a yum thing, and also an artifact of how the download
library works.
That's still manual intervention, and only of use when using the command
line. I second the prior proposal that a user ought to be able to
preset their computer to automatically look for another mirror if the
download speed went below a certain threshold.
Exactly -- this actually leads to another wish list enhancement... I
use the Ctrl-C thing regularly but yum-fastestmirror still persists in
using the *same* slow mirror the next time a yum command is run. The
smart thing would be to realize that the user doesn't want to use this
mirror and remember the decision on the next run.
Cheers,
Raman
