This is a bit difficult. This is basically a MirrorManager bug:
https://github.com/fedora-infra/mirrormanager2/issues/225
As our main interface is metalink we have not looked at a fix for this, yet.
The problem is, that MirrorManager should handle mirrors which decide to only mirror certain parts of the repository. This works as long as it is about directories. If it is about directories with no files as in this case it fails. So if you would access a URL like
https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/SRPMS/Packages/g
it will not redirect you to mirror.cedia.org.ec.
Could this mirror be excluded from the redirects for SRPMs?
Currently no way to do that and, in theory, if there are files in a directory, it automatically works.
Or its admins contacted to rsync SRPMs also?
That could be done, but as we try to support partial mirrors we do not require it.
We should just fix mentioned bug.
