What is with Fedora official repositories?

[tty3]

Hello I'm user of Fedora 11... Back this weekend the official repositories works 100% I can download packages with 100 kbytes =)
This weekend cannot download packages, only with 3 Kbytes!!! PTM!!
What is happening?

Maybe it has something to do with this?

It probably has, depending on your mirror, you get timeouts and/or low bandwidth. I updated today and one mirror timed out but yum switched to another mirror. What I found is that the update of the package database took most of the time. Downloading the packages was not at lightning speed, but since Presto reduced the download size, it was not that bad.

Does your download error out or is it only unusually slow?

Sometimes, doing yum clean all will help. (Because it will clean out the fastest mirrors, which may no longer be the fastest mirrors.)

I'm noticing the same problem with slow downloads, there seems to be a very slow mirror causing my issue

Normally, to change mirror while yum is downloading you can press ctrl-c once during a download, but it doesn't seem to work in F11 while downloading packages, instead I have to do it while the metadata is downloading, then I get a fast mirror (run 'yum clean metadata' first to force a download of the primary_db)
