This is my connection to pkgs.fedoraproject.org machine. Fetching 48MB 
archive reached 36% in 2 (two) hours...

We ship binaries through mirrors all around the world. yum/dnf knows how 
to use them to get packages in a quick way. Knows how to handle lack of 
connection etc.

But sources used to build packages came from one place. ONE...

Why? Why we are not have them mirrored?

Or if we have then which magic option I did not managed to find yet?
