B/c the mirrors of rawhide are, typically, fairly significantly out of
sync.

if you're talking about a stable release then you can do:

[somerepo]
name=This is some repo
baseurl=http://mirror1.org/some/path/
        http://mirror2.org/some/path/
        http://mirror3.org/some/path/

then yum will automatically switch mirrors when it encounters and error
getting files from one.
