Bug Description

i found something[0] which explain how the fastestmirror works.

> Yum has a plugin, fastestmirror. The purpose of that plugin is to determine the fastest available mirror and makes yum download from it, not some random one. Usually, this plugin works very well, but this time it didn't. I tried to reset everything with
> fastestmirror plugin determines which mirror is the best one based on measuring how much time is necessary to establish connection with a mirror, and then it immediately disconnects.

So,

1. fatestmirror don't cache anything in the disk.
2. it will save much time to get the fastest mirror, rather than random use one by one.

So, it will be OK and helpful to make this plugin present.
