Fair call. This whole mirror thing is only half working I'm afraid. A
lot of mirrors give me GPG errors when packages download, and I have to
do the 'mirror chase' to find a working download.
I even tried changing my sources and added the .au (I'm in Australia) to
the yum-mirrors section to try to get everything from Australia, but
using that method, the mirror I get sent to give me a 404 on the header
file.
I'm assuming this will be worked on for FC3, but I'm still disappointed
by how little up2date has improved since introduction (even before
Fedora I mean). I'm screwed either way. US mirrors are slow, lock or
give me GPG errors and Australia mirrors don't work.
When I get a spare minute in my day, I'll have to chase the RPMs
manually I think.
Regards,
Ed.
