This whole auto mirror selection is broken to da bone cuz...
Had to fetch my beta from France this morning 8MiB transfer rate not bad...
instead of using the server that RHnet has here in Iceland which by the 
way is
official Fedora mirror cause the beta still was not there or "accessible"..

Have had hit for a rule for about a year now not to use the Icelandic 
Mirror because it's
slow on update and releases...

Best regards
                     Johann B.
