HiDebarshi,
You are right in pointing out the 2 Indian mirrors they are on the top in the mirrorlist.txt file. My mirror list is filled with 2 mentioned here indian mirrors and couple of china,taiwan and japan mirrors.
I have been using mirror.wbut.ac.in server always but lately, yum is not able to download even the filelists from these 2 Indian servers. The connection times out everytime and from other asian servers speed hovers around 15-20KB.
So if we had some specific inputs from you as to which mirror(s) you find slower, what sort of bandwidth you have, etc. we can try to optimize the Indian Fedora mirrors accordingly.
My connection bandwidth is 512 and using MTNL Triband. Just recently problems started cropping up. It was never a problem earlier. I used to get healthy 54KBps from mirror.wbut.ac.in. Download speeds I get when downloading emacs from http://gnu.glug-nith.org/emacs/emacs-22.1.tar.gz is max 54KBps and from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-22.1.tar.gz is somewhere between 35-40KBps
Finally, I'm not 100% sure if its the servers problems or from my side. But, I haven't changed any settings or added or removed any yum plugins. The setup is as it was couple of months ago. Does yum require some more tinkering?
Thanks,
Prashant
