Yum

Yum is a great package management utility, but sometimes the only thing that annoys me is a slow download mirror. I am sure this will be a common problem among regular Fedora or Redhat users. Yum-fastestmirror aims to solve this problem. It provides a Yum plugin which measures the speed of available mirrors and sorts the list so that priority is given to the fastest mirrors. Read futher to see how to install yum-fastestmirror and configure properly to make this problem go away.
