Hidden download performance problem with Fedora 6-10

[Joshua C.]

+1

I've seen really fast mirrors but when it comes to update the speed
drops to ~300kbps. when directly downloading from a mirror I get ~
1,6mbps. with other distro I haven't seen this, though. it is not a
connection problem but a fedora problem (I think).

if i can assist, let me know.
