I for one am not sure that "fastest mirror" is the one I want to use.
There are financial benefits to many people in Australia using their
local cache peering arrangements.
Then you need to specify your own mirrorlist or look to see if the
australia-only mirror list is up.
We need to be given the chance to choose a mirror, and to know where
that mirror is: the name
www.au.fedoracore.org doesn't tell me whether
it's in QLD, WA, or even off-shore in TAS.
You can choose a mirror, type it in the baseurl and remove the
mirrorlist.
