I am not sure about the media, but
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6ComputeNode/en/os/SRPMS/yum-utils-1.1.26-11.el6.src.rpm">ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6ComputeNode/en/os/SRPMS/yum-utils-1.1.26-11.el6.src.rpm</a>
generates it. Snip from the spec:<br>
<br>
%package -n yum-plugin-fastestmirror<br>
