I once had big problems with one particular mirror, apparently
due to some router on the path between me and that mirror
(which is when I learned about fastest mirror being able
to blacklist things :-). I just kept blacklisting mirrors
till one worked well. (Since then I have gotten new versions
of fedora and not bothered to save the blacklist so whatever
problem I had before seems to be gone).
