How to find the fastest CentOS/Fedora mirrors

Submitted by Richard on Fri, 05/01/2009 - 05:39

To speed-up your yum download, you need to install the yum-fastestmirror package. Its a yum plugin which chooses fastest repository from a mirrorlist. This plugin sorts each repository's mirrorlist by connection speed prior to downloading packages.

To install, simply type:

yum install yum-fastestmirror

Have fun...
