Hi,
I would like to ban a particularly slow mirror[1]. It's the closest mirror to my geographical location (one of only two mirrors in my country, India). Every time I see a bad download error message from that mirror, everything subsequent to that speeds up and uses the full capacity of my connection. How can I achieve this?
...
Use the firewall and block that IP?
I would like to avoid hard coded changes. What if tomorrow their IP changes, given the nature of the problem, I would realise the issue after trying to waste my time on "slow updates" all over again!
Edit the repo files to use a baseurl of your choice? Start with the example, and change it to your preferred mirror. It can be a list of urls separated by spaces or commas.
This would work on my desktops, but not on my laptops. I have several machines to manage. A uniform solution would be easier I think.
