Why not look at a way of autoselecting a mirror by testing speed of the connection or by using 'traceroute' to find the closest mirror. The mirror list could be part of a configuration file setup during installation and updates. If the software is smart enough, if a server hangs or slows down, then it could change to a different server.Timothy Murphy wrote:

This method would not require user interaction and improve the usablility of the whole process.
I am new to Fedora and I havn't tried the up2date yet as one machine is new and I have to ensure that it is ready for productive work tomorrow and the other machine died while doing a kernel upgrade (hardware, not fedora).
