fastestmirror exclude doesn't seem to be working?

[Michael D. Setzer II]

I've used the exclude option to exclude .au, .nz. and .cz, and in the past it 
has worked find. Now in setting up new systems with Fedora 20, it doesn't 
seem to work. I'm located on Guam, and it appears that the process sees 
identifies AU and NZ as being closer, but the internet connect to there is very 
slow. Was just doing a yum install, and getting 68K, but campus 100Mb 
connection. Had the same issue with downloading the DVD iso images. At 
first the web link connected me to AU site, and it was going to take 14 hours 
estimate to download. Cancelled and went directly to mirror.kernel.org and 
got the image in about 30 minutes.

Anyone know of a way to get yum to use US sites rather than geographically 
close sites? Same with the web browsers connecting to sites.

Thanks.
