title: yum updates in fedora 17 going extremely slow
body: <p>I've just installed Fedora 17 and did an initial update:</p>
  
  <pre><code>yum update
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>yum update download speed is going way too slow.  Download speed is <strong>5 kbps</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to tell yum to not pick such slow repositories? </p>
