I would suggest that you will need to find a lower level mirror than any of
the top level ones. The reason being is that there is a lot of noise in the
top levels from other mirrors and various developers using mock/reposync to
get packages. [I tried using the dl.fedoraproject.org mirrors for this a
while ago and a large % of the yum traffic is from mock builds.] If you go
with smaller mirrors you may need more than one.
