Use the firewall and block that IP?
I would like to avoid hard coded changes. What if tomorrow their IP
changes, given the nature of the problem, I would realise the issue
after trying to waste my time on "slow updates" all over again!
Edit the repo files to use a baseurl of your choice? Start with the
example, and change it to your preferred mirror. It can be a list of
urls separated by spaces or commas.
This would work on my desktops, but not on my laptops. I have several
machines to manage. A uniform solution would be easier I think.
