Please use a tier 1 mirror[1] close to you; create an account in the
MirrorManager[2]; register your mirror in our MirrorManager; enter
your local netblocks in the mirror manager; run report_mirror[3]
(if possible) and as soon as you are listed in the database as up to
date yum/dnf will be redirected to your mirror.

All this information can be found in more details in the wiki at:

Thanks for supporting Fedora. If you have any further questions do not
hesitate to ask.

It would help us a lot if you could provide rsync access for our
crawler. Our crawler checks the content of your mirror and using rsync
requires only one network connection in contrast to crawling via HTTP
which can take up one connection per directory/file on your mirror.
