mmmhh. all livna mirrors. afaik they are all in europe.

for the fedora case:
i saw this also and noticed a slow throughput the last weeks.

therefore i have
baseurl=
http://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/pub/fedora/development/$basearch/os/
http://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/Linux/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearch/os/
http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/fedora-core/development/$basearch/os/
http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearch/os/

failovermethod=priority

in my fedora-development.repo and a adjusted one for fedora-updates.repo.

from the first i installed and updated the box ~2h ago. (it's the 
widest, but fastest)

best to search some near/fast mirror and put it fix in your repo's.
afaik we are *randomly* redirected to other mirrors.
randomly through the whole mirrorlist.

doing so relieves download.fedora.com, also, esp. 2 days after a new 
release.

and if the first in list above is slow, i hit crtl+c to move to next (in 
my list !)
