=== Use specific mirror ===
1. Find desired mirror here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager/mirrors/Fedora/39
2. You need to update configuration files in "/etc/yum.repos.d/":
   # vi /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
   # vi /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo
3. Comment out "metalink" line.
4. Uncomment "baseurl" line and put desired mirror URL.
5. For example, here's changed part of "/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo":
   ~~~
   [updates]
   name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - Updates
   baseurl=https://mirror.init7.net/fedora/fedora/linux/updates/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/
   #metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f$releasever&arch=$basearch
   enabled=1
   countme=1
   repo_gpgcheck=0
   type=rpm
   gpgcheck=1
   metadata_expire=6h
   gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$releasever-$basearch
   skip_if_unavailable=False
   
   ...
   ~~~
6. Done!
