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?

Roland?
