+#  This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the metadata
+# is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of not having to
+# download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not having correct
+# information.
+#  It is esp. important, to have correct metadata, for distributions like
+# Fedora which don't keep old packages around. If you don't like this checking
+# interupting your command line usage, it's much better to have something
+# manually check the metadata once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this).

+# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
+# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
+# geographically close to the client.  You should use this for CentOS updates
+# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
+#
+# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the
+# remarked out baseurl= line instead.
