I'm not sure what you mean by that, how did you have two URLs? Or did you use smart's mirror system? The new fedora-package-config-* packages use http://download.fedoraproject.org, which is mirrormanager's conventional URL, e.g. the client application, smart, apt etc., need not know that mirrormanager is involved and to perform special steps, they just query the URL and get a redirect to the next best mirror. Give it a try and see whether it works better than setting up mirrors manually. > I remember being puzzled by what I found at (perhaps the el5 version) of > that mirror earlier this week, but a quick look now at > > http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/10/x86_64/ > > looks as if it's ok. > > -------------------- > Re-sent for the record.
