I think its not possible. Especially in shared environments. For example in
a university, machine A ran yum and downloaded foo.rpm via
bar.com. Now if
machine B runs yum to download the same foo.rpm, how will it know what
mirror machine A used?
You make it sound like yum is incapable of persisting data. Can't it
just save the last used mirror?
