It would be great If we had something like that. It doesn't need too
much engineering expertise for Fedora people to have a page which
shows the status.
I have seen  centos mirros status http://mirror-status.centos.org/ .
Should I file a bug report for this feature?

The package I was looking for was sssd.
Sorry. I made a mistake. I was looking at the wrong place.
I should have used
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/testing/19/x86_64/
instead of http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/19/x86_64/os/Packages/s/

I am already using dl.fedoraproject.org. How long does it take to
transfer the koji builds to the fedora mirrors.

The yum-fastestmirror is not the up to date mirror of all the fedora
mirrors in my zone of GMT + 5.30.
