To be clear, the mirror system is - intentionally - not deterministic (in most cases); each time you hit the metalink URL it will give you a slightly different list of mirrors (usually the same handful of mirrors in your geographic area, but in a different order). You can see this easily by just opening e.g. this URL: https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-rawhide&arch=x86_64 in a browser and refreshing it a few times. You'll see different mirrors from me, for a start - I get North American ones - but each time you refresh the page, the order will change. This is done to ensure that load is spread around between mirrors. So you probably simply got a different server the second time you ran 'dnf --refresh update' compared to the first. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
