Likely.
I then tried up2date commandline (acually, I know about that). I don't
recall now my objections to that.
Up2date uses the same mirror list.

A default selection based on time zone would work for many people. I
select "Australia/Perth" and that self-same selection should give me
WAIX-connected mirrors plus Optus and Telstra to choose from. Or for yum
to roll around.
You just got done complaining that the Australian mirrors aren't in the
mirror list.
