ftp: //linuxsoft.cern.ch/scientific/45/$basearch/errata/SL/RPMS/
but I often notice, just doing a 'netstat', that I am using your server
rather
than ours and I'd like to investigate this furter on a longer period
of time.
Hi,
If you want to use your own mirrors in preference to the others you need to
include
"failovermethod=priority" in your repo configuration. The default is
roundrobin
which will select one at random from the list.
There is also the yum-fastestmirror package.
I'm only guessing, but from the name it might help.
