Recently, when I am checking the mirror lists in China, I see there

only mirrors.njupt.edu.cn listed for the repo fedora-28[1]. And
Checking the corresponding Fedora 27 one, I only see
mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn
mirrors.163.com
mirrors.njupt.edu.cn
For fedora-updates of Fedora 28[2], still only the above three mirror
listed. While for fedora-updates of Fedora 27, only the two listed
mirrors.163.com
mirrors.njupt.edu.cn
According to my knowledge, the three biggest mirrors in China are
mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn[3] (mentioned as TUNA below)
mirrors.ustc.edu.cn[4] (mentioned as USTC below)
mirrors.163.com
However USTC is not listed in any of the above. And TUNA is listed
only on the Fedora-27 repo. Given both of them are pretty big and
still listed on mirror page[5], can you check why they are not listed
by metalink? Especially TUNA has the biggest bandwith and USTC has
connection to every ISP in China.
I am copying their staff list as well.
Thanks for having a closer look. Just also talked with a USTC mirror
admin on IRC.
USTC is wrongly configured in mirrormanager, basically all paths
configured are pointing to non existing directories on the mirror. They
specify
https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/fedora/linux as the root URL for
their Fedora mirror which returns 404. The URL for EPEL is also wrong.
TUNA is mostly correct. The reason why they to not serve Fedora 28 is
that they do not mirror development and we are waiting some days/weeks
until we switch from development to release. This will happen soon and
TUNA should appear as a mirror.
The same is true for
163.com.
It also seems that the last run of our crawler had trouble reaching any
sites in China. This might have been only a temporary problem.
