I just came from Ireland to Italy, and was surprised that when I ran "sudo yum update" with the fastest_mirror plugin, it still used the same repo in Ireland for fedora-update, though I can't believe it would be the fastest in Italy.

Apologies - this was sent to the wrong newsgroup. I guess I'm so used to writing about KMail ...

The fastestmirror plugin caches the fastest mirror data so it doesn't have to check on every use of yum, which would defeat the purpose. ;-)
Run `yum clean plugins` to clear it and it will perform another test on your next yum run.
