I can't understand why Fedora don't add a feature to change the mirrors
automatically by chance or manual - the standards are to get the packages
from the main Server, that cannot be the best way.
Btw., SuSE have a tool taht searches for the best mirror from a list - It can
not be so hard to do that, and if there a problems, you can take the main
server as the last mirror and can delete or add other mirrors with package
updates.
What do you think? Why is there no such feature?
