You can try "yum clean metadata" and stand a good chance that a different mirror will be picked at random, for your next "yum update" or "yum install". This is what I do when I get stuck with a slow mirror, though first doing a CTRL+C during the downloading is often enough to get onto a different mirror that might be better. For a more permanent solution, if you can find a mirror that you're happy with, you can edit the various rpmfusion repo files (*), to use just that mirror. Comment out the mirrorlist line, and put your preferred mirror address into the baseurl line. * /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion*.repo If there were a collection of different mirrors that suited you, you could probably just change the mirrorlist line to point to a local file listing your preferred mirrors. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
