Does it always send you to the same mirror? 
Using 'dnf -v' should tell you.

Well, if you can find a better mirror you could hard code it. 
Or if you can find out which one is slow, mirrormanager admins could
remove or adjust it.

You can get the full list from:

Any of them. If you are using the default metalink it has checksums of
all the files. If you are not, all rpms are signed, so if they were
tampered with they would be rejected.
