what we had considered was using the fastest mirror plugin to sort the list of mirrors. Then store that sorted list in the repo cache directory. Then redownload the list and re-sort/store it every 8 hours or so, same as how we're storing the repomd.xml data, now.
I for one am not sure that "fastest mirror" is the one I want to use.
There are financial benefits to many people in Australia using their local cache peering arrangements.
Then you need to specify your own mirrorlist or look to see if the australia-only mirror list is up.
We need to be given the chance to choose a mirror, and to know where that mirror is: the name www.au.fedoracore.org doesn't tell me whether it's in QLD, WA, or even off-shore in TAS.
You can choose a mirror, type it in the baseurl and remove the mirrorlist.
