Hi,
I've found an issue with the public active mirrors page on https://mirrormanager.fedoraproject.org/mirrors/Fedora/43/x86_64?page_size=2... [1] Once you use the country filter and select GB (Great Britain - United Kingdom), the filter returns KR mirror not GB mirrors, which is a little odd.
I also use &country=gb in my metalink mirrorlist to hopefully get mirror servers in my country. For the fedora-43 repo it returns gb mirrors as expected but when I request updates-released-f43 it returns mirrors from around Europe, including Russia. Is this a bug with the mirrorlist service, as I feel the country query param should be respected still. I've checked a few gb mirrors and they have the update repo
Hopefully this is the right forum to ask these questions
Many Thanks
The ROKFOSS mirror (mirror.krfoss.org) uses Cloudflare, so it may appear even for locations outside KR. Since it is served through Cloudflare CDN, this is not a bug in fedora's mirror system.
Hi,
That would make sense indeed, but it's still not listing other GB mirrors that do reside in the Great Briton for example Kent University Mirror (mirror service).
An extra comment when a Global CDN is in use would be useful for edge cases.

Mirrors behind CDNs are breaking more things than helping, so I would always ignore results related to CDN based mirrors. Not sure why this one is listed as a UK based mirror. Usually something breaks related to caching with CDN based mirrors.

This is not a bug. If for a country there are less than 5 mirrors the mirrorlist server uses mirrors from the same continent to fill up the list and if there are still less than 5 it uses mirrors from all over the world. The crawler checks every 12 hours if mirrors are up to date so it is hard to tell why they are not included in the list. Maybe it even looks at other things then you are looking at. Especially for the updates tree the content changes all the time.
