Mirror Measure app for Fedora Linux
Mirror Measure app for Fedora Linux
I love Fedora
My only complain was slow mirror speed
Ubuntu has Software Center, Arch has Reflector but Fedora didn't have
anything similar
Fedora has fastestmirror plugin but it is awful
Introducing Fedora MiMe
A simple Electron app that will help you find Fedora mirrors & run speedtest
Good Question
But it's awful
...fastestmirror is based on a faulty concept, when it's turned on your dnf pings all the servers in the list it has and takes the fastest ping time as the "fastestmirror" and it goes to that one as the server...-Fedora Forum
From my personal experience, I used to get around 500 Kb/s
After measuring
with it
now
I get around 5 Mb/s! Yeah I have slow internet
If we look into Ubuntu's Software Center or Arch's Reflector, they all measure download
speed from servers
For some reason Fedora determines fastest mirror by ping time -_-
This app fixes the issue
