This is what I get when I execute `wget' command -
didar at didar-laptop:~$ wget -S -O- https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink

Also, when I lookup the IP addresses of mirrors.fedoraproject.org I
get the following -
didar at didar-laptop:~$ host mirrors.fedoraproject.org
mirrors.fedoraproject.org is an alias for wildcard.fedoraproject.org.
wildcard.fedoraproject.org has address 152.46.7.222
wildcard.fedoraproject.org has address 209.132.176.120
wildcard.fedoraproject.org has address 66.35.62.166
wildcard.fedoraproject.org has address 80.239.156.215
I do not see "209.132.176.122" in the above list. What does "host
mirrors.fedoraproject.org" output on your end?
