What's happening with the mirrors?

Am I missing something? took about 20 minutes to update one repo

Hi, this is the solution:

Edit /etc/dnf/dnf.conf and add:

fastestmirror=true

I did this (Fedora 23) and now it apparently checks the mirrors:

determining the fastest mirror (3 hosts).. done.

But when it tries to update from Fedora 23 - x86_64 repo it keeps very sluggish

Worked like a charm for me. On Fedora 24.

yeah this doesn't work for me either. i'm trying to use fedora on a digital ocean droplet but it's basically unusable. dnf is broken out of the box. going to have to wipe it and use a different distro.

That could happen at times of mass upgrades ... are you sure that you are using the best mirrors?

Try a sudo dnf clean all, followed by a sudo dnf check-update. Maybe you have faster mirrors somewhere close. 20 minutes seems to be too long for repo information (~20-50 MB).

It depends on Internet connection too, so even at the best speed (50KBps) 40MB takes too long

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.... .Somebody should work on it please.

Yeah, I never had these problems with YUM. For some reason DNF attempts to connect at high ports (instead of FTP/HTTP) and I see a SYN_SENT which is being blocked by our network's firewall. Yum always seemed to work fast and connect only on HTTP/FTP ports.
