Any idea why yum doesn't show by default from what mirror it is downloading from? It's not like there's no space on the output strings layout...
Instead of

I'd suggest:

In case of a timeout (which down here, happens often) it'd show, instead of...
-----
wget-1.14-8.fc19.i686.rpm FAILED
Trying other mirror.
wget-1.14-8.fc19.i686.rpm FAILED
-----
It should be noted that under the current behaviour:
1. The current mirror is not displayed
2. When there are recurrent problems (ie slow downloads) with a current YUM whatever download, one cannot identify the name of the problem mirror, because (point #1)
3. even with -v (for "verbose" operation) yum details all kinds of internal values, timings etc but NOT THE MIRROR it is downloading from.
It seems like a nice RFE with no downsides I can think of, and trivial to implement.
