I can't see anything wrong with this mirror at the moment - I'm
downloading the KDE live ISO from it just for testing. It seems a
little slow for a mirror that claims 250Mbps of bandwidth (I'm getting
500-600KB/sec on a connection that could get 6.5MB/s to a well
connected mirror near to me), but that could be distance related or
whatever.
Yeah, it's strange. At times it seems to work fine but at
other times it stops working for awhile. Maybe they were
going through some sort of a "maintenance downtime" or
something - but that does not explain how the yum hang
remained - holding the connection "hostage" - that is the
part I cannot fathom....
As a previous poster explained - it's probably a router
issue... in any case - I have blacklisted this site and all
is good - so far...
